The Ride For The Fallen (RFTF) is the Peace Officers’ Memorial Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser. Since the first Ride in 2002, RFTF has grown to include hundreds of riders from across the USA and around the world.
Each year, we ride to the Peace Officers’ Memorial on the Capitol grounds and pay tribute to fallen law enforcement since the previous year.
We ride to remember. We ride to honor.
