Skooter and I have been riding in the Texas Honor Ride since its inception in 2006. I have volunteered for several of their functions and can tell you that these are some of the nicest people around. All of the events were some of the most organized well thought out I’ve ever been to. And I can also tell you that all of the money goes to the BAMC families, none gets siphoned off for anything. Here is some information gathered from their web site. Live and silent auction, Apache helicopter, car and bike show, Houston Frisbee dogs and Military displays. http://texashonorride...

The Texas Honor Ride is holding our 6th Annual Main Fundraiser Saturday September 24, 2011. All proceeds go to help support our Wounded Warriors at Brooke Army Medical Center. For the third year it will be hosted by the West Conroe Baptist Church on North Loop 336 just off of I-45 and Hwy 105. As in the past our fundraiser will feature our famous police escorted "Ride to Nowhere" through the scenic piney woods that ends up back at the church. There will be an air show during the opening ceremony and a Apache helicopter that will fly in and be on display. After the ride there will be live music, food (BBQ), entertainment, displays and our Live and Silent auctions. Our store will be there with great THR merchandise. There will be wounded soldiers and their families in attendance as our VIP guests for you to meet. We are hoping this year will be our biggest and best fundraiser to date and a day of fun for all.
All funds raised go to the Warrior and Family Support Center at BAMC where the staff and counselors administer the funds to our wounded. The Brooke Army Medical Center, BAMC (pronounced 'bam-see') is part of the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) located on-base, at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. BAMC is one of two highly specialized military trauma hospitals that serves the needs of very critically wounded soldiers. BAMC is also the US military’s burn trauma center. The doctors, specialists, staff and facilities at BAMC are among the best in the world and paid for by the US Government with our tax dollars. Wounded troops assigned to BAMC often spend long periods of time recovering from their injuries. A majority of them spend more than one year recovering at the facility. The wounded warriors must stay (live) very close to BAMC’s 24-hour facility and staff in case complications from their injuries develop. This allows easy access for their daily doctor visits and rehabilitation requirements. BAMC physicians have discovered that, during these extended recovery periods, patients recover much faster when the patient’s primary family members can help support and encourage the warrior in their rehabilitation efforts in a non-hospital environment. This “specific need” of a non-hospital environment and providing for their families to stay with them is not funded by the US Government or our tax dollars. Most find it impossible to afford the extra costs associated with this “specific need.” Our Goal as the Texas Honor Ride is to help these families provide support to our Wounded Warriors. Simply stated: To honor, directly help and improve the quality of life of wounded warriors and their families who are recovering at the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in San Antonio, Texas. The Warrior Family Support Center – WFSC (formerly known as the Soldier Family Assistance Center - SFAC) is an on-base, non-profit (donation based) organization who’s mandate is to provide a “safe” environment away from the hospital environment (but on-base and very near BAMC) for the wounded warriors' families to be directly and intimately involved in their rehabilitation. WFSC directly supports and attends to the day-to-day, non-medical (non-funded) “specific needs” of recovering wounded troops and their families at BAMC. 100% of the THR profits, plus all donated and purchased items not consumed or auctioned at THR fundraising, events go directly to WFSC at BAMC. Please join the growing group of Supporters of the THR mission. Your donation will directly help support our wounded warriors and their families recovering at BAMC from the extreme sacrifice they have made on our behalf. The sooner we receive your donation the more impact it will have in raising additional support for the THR mission.
