“The Freedom Ride is one of our annual charity events,” said Bianka Beaudoin, CEO of The Way Home. “Our goal is to share a little bit of our mission and increase awareness of the challenges faced by our homeless veterans in our state, while providing a fun time for motorcycle enthusiasts and others.” She went on to say that The Way Home offers assistance and support to veterans in greater Manchester by providing a broad range of programs and related services.
The event includes a guided motorcycle ride from Manchester to NH Veteran’s Cemetery for a special ceremony. Then the riders return to Manchester for lunch and other activities. Musical entertainment will be donated by the band – “Never 2 Late.”
Ms. Beaudoin said that the event would not be possible without a host of great sponsors and supporters including: Bank of America, Stark Brewing Company, Bar Harbor Bank and Trust, Beez Tee’s, Data Evolution, and the Manchester Motorcycle Club.
“Annually, we are proud to invest over $100,000 in critical resources to veterans and their families. The Freedom Ride also offers a fantastic opportunity to thank and recognize veterans for their service to our country,” Ms. Beaudoin said.
All proceeds from the ride benefit Veteran’s programs at the agency. Masks are recommended as per the CDC and state of NH social distancing guidelines.
