About the 5th Annual Ride for the Troops

Five years ago, Webb Auto Group launched Ride for the Troops with a simple goal: support the men and women who serve and the families who hold it down at home. What started as a small group of riders has grown into one of Chicagoland’s most anticipated military-support fundraisers, co-presented with TREK Bicycle of Naperville and Downers Grove.

Every dollar raised goes to USO of Illinois, which serves service members and their families across the state with programs that span deployment, homecoming, and the transition to civilian life. Our 2026 goal is our most ambitious yet: $50,000.
