KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is proud to announce it has again been named a beneficiary of Harley-Davidson’s Let’s Ride Challenge® Ride for Heroes, continuing a powerful partnership dedicated to honoring and supporting America’s veterans, service members and first responders for the second year in a row.
Following the success of last year’s campaign, Harley-Davidson® is revving up for year two with renewed purpose – from now through Oct. 31, the 2026 Let’s Ride Challenge® is turning every mile ridden into meaningful support and putting special purpose behind riders’ miles with the goal of donating $1 million to organizations that support America’s service members, veterans and first responders — like the VFW!
Every mile VFW members and our supporters ride helps support this meaningful $1 million mission. The VFW and many H-D dealers have been actively working together to support veterans locally since 2020.
The Let's Ride Challenge® is now open to all riders, regardless of what bike you ride. Riders can now register online at h-dletsride.com from anywhere, anytime. No dealer visit is required to sign up. After registering, participants will still need to go to a Harley-Davidson® dealership to track their odometer mileage. Harley Owners Group® or Passenger member rewards go even further as your miles will count toward the H.O.G. Ride 365® Mileage Challenges and the Let’s Ride Challenge.
The 2026 Let’s Ride Challenge® Ride for Heroes is more than just a ride — it’s a “thank you” to those who have given so much for our freedom, and the VFW encourages all VFW and Auxiliary members and supporters to join in to make this year’s event even bigger and better than last year! This isn’t just about the miles, it’s about the mission.
