What We Do

The Victory for Veterans Ride  and Wicker Park Memorial Fund are an integral part of serving our Veteran community. In addition to the V4V Ride’s original purpose of enhancing Wicker Memorial Park’s Veterans corner, the funds raised are used to support Veterans in many ways from holding events, contributing to other veteran groups, and more.
