Ride for Heroes
The R.E.D. Ride of Central Illinois is a non-profit organization founded in 2019 to send packages to deployed soldiers overseas, boosting their morale with essential items and home luxuries. Over the years, the organization has expanded its fundraising efforts, establishing an annual Jeep and motorcycle ride that grows larger each year, attracting hundreds of participants.
​
August 23, 2025 is our next R.E.D. Ride. The ride will be starting in Jacksonville and ending in Springfield with various stops along the way. Select Ride Details to learn more.
