Raleigh's Ride has been created to keep the memory of our schnoodle Raleigh alive and to provide others with an opportunity to remember and honor their beloved family pets while supporting K9 rescue, veterans, and preserving American history.
This is a supporter-sponsored, overnight motorcycle/vehicle ride coordinated by Brimont Bistro in Webster, NY and American Legion Riders 942 Webster, NY traveling to the Eldred WW2 Museum in Eldred PA. The Ride will take place on Armed Forces Day Saturday May 16th 2026 with an overnight stay in Bradford PA. leaving for home Sunday May 17th. Anyone who to attend the ride is welcome though we do ask you to make donations to our charities before attending the ride. Donate Direct to the Eldred WW2 Museum in Eldred PA and Paws Of War K9 Rescue. In the past we collected donations and split between the charities, this can create problems in some ways so we ask people to make donations directly and trust that people who do the Ride will.
