Webb Auto Group Raises Over $20,000 for the USO at 5th Annual Ride for the Troops

More Than 100 Riders and 130 Classic Cars Gathered in Plainfield, Illinois to Honor the USO of Illinois

PLAINFIELD, IL — June 5, 2026. Webb Auto Group announced that its 5th Annual USO Ride for the Troops, held Sunday, May 31, 2026, at Webb Chevy Plainfield, raised over $20,000 for the USO of Illinois (United Service Organizations). The event drew more than 100 bike riders and over 130 classic cars, along with hundreds of community members who gathered in Plainfield, IL to support the USO.

Held each year around Memorial Day, the Ride for the Troops event serves as a meaningful opportunity for the community to come together to raise money to assist our military service members and families. This year's event brought together live music, food, a classic car show, and a full day of celebration in support of those who serve.

“Five years in, Ride for the Troops keeps getting bigger and better — and that's because of this community. Seeing over 100 riders, more than 130 classic cars, and hundreds of people come out to support our service members and their families, we raised over $20,000 for the USO of Illinois. Webb Auto Group is incredibly proud of what we have built alongside this amazing community.”
