Annual Heroes Ride Put on Hold for 2023

by

For nearly a decade, the much-anticipated, escorted ride through Los Angeles brought together hundreds of motorcyclists and supporters each year to honor fallen officers and military veterans. Unfortunately, the event has desperately needed corporate/title sponsors for the last few years, as the ride entry fees have not come remotely close to covering expenses. As a result and after careful consideration, the Star & Shield Foundation Board of Directors recommended the event be put on hold in 2023 as PPOA searches for sponsors. We gladly welcome any corporate/title sponsor leads and ask that contact information be emailed to info@ppoa.com. For those who have participated in or volunteered at this event in the past, please know it is our goal to reconvene the Heroes Ride in 2024.
