18th Annual Realities Ride & Rally
An All-American Celebration
Memorial Day Weekend | May 25-26, 2019
In Honor of Those Who Served;
In Service to those in Need
For the past 18 years, the Realities Ride & Rally has brought the Northern Colorado community together on Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate freedom and honor those who gave all to defend that freedom. This event unites us in the common cause of bringing hope to local children who have been abused, neglected or who are at risk.
THANK YOU to all who joined us this past year on a beautiful Memorial Day weekend to celebrate freedom, commemorate sacrifice and provide for at risk children and youth. Thank you to our sponsors who made it possible for every one of the nearly $120,000 raised to go directly to those in need. We had 2,000 join us for the Ride and thousands more come together in Downtown Fort Collins to Rally.
If you missed it, please plan to join us in 2019 - as always on Memorial Day weekend!
