Started in 2007, the Cruise has raised over $50,000 for various veteran and military family support organizations. Our goal for this year’s event is to raise $10,000 through corporate sponsorships and attendance. We are continuing our long-standing support to Fisher House—Illinois. New this year, we will be supporting V.E.T Service Dogs, a non-profit organization which helps provide veterans with the best quality service dogs.
