Operation Patriot is an all-volunteer, non-political, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Upstate NY comprised of a diverse group of volunteers from all walks of life.
The organization was founded on September 14th, 2001 in direct response to the 9/11 terror attacks on our country. Nineteen days later on September 30, 2001, our first fundraiser / motorcycle ride was held. The ride started at The Cycle Stop HD dealership and ended at Ontario Beach Park in Rochester, NY. The ride - later dubbed "Let's Roll!" in remembrance of Todd M. Beamer of United Flight 93 - was joined by 883 registered motorcyclist showing support for first responders. Proceeds were donated to the Salvation Army's 9/11 NY City Relief Effort.
Since 2001, we've organized several 9/11 Tribute Rides, typically on the Saturday following Labor Day and/or closest to, or on, the anniversary of the attacks.
We've also added 5k runs (Trot w/ Troops) and holiday fundraising events as well as special events for W. Webster Firefighters / Greece Police Officer John Ritter, RPD officer Daryl Pierson and RPD Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz.
