Ruff Ride New York City

Join Team Foster on March 28-29 at the The Nike Track & Field Center at The Armory for the first annual Ruff Ride NYC! Ruff Ride is part festival, part competition, bringing together a fantastic community of companies, service organizations, and groups of friends to form teams to sponsor a stationary spin bike. Teams compete against each other for bragging rights throughout the event all while raising funds for Team Foster. It is literally the only event of its kind, Ruff Ride brings all the fun and energy you can handle for 24 hours.

Each registered team is assigned a spin bike. Fill your team with civilians, Vets, athletes, or non-athletes to take turns keeping the bike going for 24 consecutive hours. Your team can be 5 or 50 riders. Teammates can ride for 10 minutes or 10 hours. It's up to you! Team Foster provides the bikes, the fun, and the dogs, YOU provide the team.

As a Ruff Rider, you become part of something bigger as you raise money to help injured Veterans. Individuals must raise at least $200 per person and teams must raise at least $5,000 collectively. See below, teams are eligible to recruit event sponsors which counts towards your team fundraising goal!

Every Dollar Makes a Difference

Help Fund a Service Dog

Did you know that one service dog cost $30,000 and 2 years to train? Team Foster funds highly trained and accredited service dogs for injured and disabled Veterans at no cost to the Veteran and provides lifetime support to its Veteran–service dog teams. Team Foster brings civilians, Veterans and service dogs together to provide the resources that our government does not.
