Ride To The 9/11 Memorial Flags For an Injured Veteran Sunday, September 10
Motorcyclists to raise money for a veteran wounded in Afghanistan by riding from Naval Base Ventura County to the Pepperdine 9/11 Memorial.
If you're a proud American who's always wanted to support our veterans but hasn't known how, giddy up! This weekend, the cavalry's coming to town.
On Sunday, September 10, supporters from all over the country will attend the 10th annual Ride To The Flags to honor Army Corporal Zac Gore, a husband and father of four, who lost his left arm and leg after stepping on an I.E.D in Afghanistan in 2013. The funds raised at the event will go towards a much-needed family vehicle for Army Corporal Gore.
In past years, celebrities like P!nk, Rob Lowe, Kiefer Sutherland, Cindy Crawford, Eric Christian Olsen, and Dean Cain have all saddled up and ridden to support America's wounded troops. One year, The Rhinestone Cowboy himself, the late Glen Campbell, championed our veterans by entertaining the crowd.

The Ride To The Flags starts at 10:45am at Naval Base Ventura County and ends at the 9/11 Memorial Flags at Pepperdine. For the fourth year in a row, the City of Malibu has graciously granted the White Heart Foundation use of Malibu Bluffs Park for a post-ride rally in honor of Corporal Gore. The celebration, including food trucks and music by KLOS, is open to the general public. Entry fee is $20 per person. (Please note that there aren't any attractions for children.)
Every rider who participates in the Ride to the Flags (and donates enough to enter the rally) may enter a raffle for a chance to win a week-long stay at the Royal Kona Resort in Hawaii.
