The Ocean State Jeepsters will once again be holding the annual Soldiers and Saddles charity ride to benefit Project Comeback. Join us on Sunday October 15th 2023 for a day of off roading to benefit a really great cause. Bring your own Jeep or full sized 4X4 vehicle for a chance to wheel a private property in Burrillville RI. Preregistration is required online and space is limited so signup today!
Project Comeback provides support for veterans returning from combat and rescued horses with a belief that their interaction can provide a mutually beneficial healing experience. Check out the awesome work they do at: projectcomeback.org/
Event Details:
Registration is open to the public who have vehicles that meet the requirements: 140" wheel base max and 75" width max are recommended, 4-Lo 4wd, all terrain tires, and recovery points at both front and rear. Preregistration is required to attend, each vehicle must be preregistered to off road and pay the entrance fee of $40.00.
The property offers easier trails with a few intermediate obstacles. As well as blue trails for a slightly more challenging ride. There is limited room for trailer parking if you choose to tow your rig.
The event also includes a raffle with fantastic prizes including off roading gear and swag. All proceeds from raffle ticket sales directly benefit Project Comeback. Your registration includes two raffle tickets and additional tickets can be purchased at the event.
I’m sad, but I am away for work travel for the event this year and can’t help. Let me know if you guys need anything. The old FB event should be available for a club officer to refresh and get the word out for sales. Be sure someone in BOD finance has a we pay site cooking to collect fees as this is a public event with advanced sales required in the past.
We still have tickets available for the Soldiers & Saddles ride this Sunday (10/15). If you can help to spread the word to make this a successful event. Invite all your friends including non-OSJ members.
Awesome, I will have you either help with checkin/guest greeting or gunning for a green group if we have a 2nd green group. See the planning thread on the members event side of the forum for more information or PM me.
