Brought to Central Florida in 2018, the CVMA and Asphalt & Iron work to preserve this tradition and help our wounded veterans. The Central Florida Wounded Vet Run is much more than a motorcycle event. It is not like other wounded veteran support organizations; we are LOCAL people helping LOCAL heroes. We are working with community businesses and cultivating friendships with our honoree(s) so that
we can better serve them. Every year Central Florida’s Wounded Vet Run will be dedicated to different disabled veterans. The event is supported by the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, FL Chapter 20-4; a 501c19 Non-Profit Veteran Organization. Proceeds raised go towards housing modifications, recreational objects, cars, basic living items, and other things that help improve the quality of life for a wounded war hero. Money raised in the name of this organization benefits selected wounded veterans and/or charities of their choosing. All volunteers work free and there are no paid staff. We are not a national organization with funds going to six-figure executive salaries. Within the Central Florida Wounded Vet Run not a single director, staff member, or volunteer gets paid a dime for their time. Every dollar raised goes directly to the current year’s honoree(s) or toward operations costs (these are minimal). Additionally, because our run is hosted, managed, and conducted at the local level, our honoree(s) are also our neighbors. When you participate in the Central Florida Wounded Vet Run you will meet and shake hands with the local hero you are supporting. They fought, and we ride, a bike run honoring the wounded veterans of Central Florida.
