Gold Star Ride Foundation
The Gold Star Ride Foundation is an American non-profit[1] based in Roseville, MN[1] with a mission of comforting, supporting, and providing benefits to Gold Star Families. The term "Gold Star Ride" is in reference to the use of the Service Flag to recognize the death of a family member in service of the US Armed Forces.
The Gold Star Rides
Since its founding in 2016, the foundation has made a specific commitment to arriving to honor Gold Star Families via motorcycle, many times in a group. The organization also uses motorcycle rides as a fund-raising mechanism, among other ways to raise revenue.
