Truly a Weekend to “Never Forget!” 🇺🇸

We’re PUMPED to announce our record donation of $31,500.00 to Honor Flight Rochester from this year’s 25th Annual “Let’s Roll!” 9/11 Tribute Ride & Concert!

A heartfelt thank you to the Good Lord for making this possible — “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

Special thanks to our incredible sponsors for their generosity, our amazing volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and to the phenomenal bands — Forever Seger, The Seven Wonders, Begging Angels, UnParallel Band Duo, and our friends from Junkyardfieldtrip. Your heart, energy, and spirit made this truly a “Weekend to Remember.”

We also want to recognize our vendors, ceremony performers, and guest speakers — and of course, everyone who came out to support this incredible weekend of remembrance and unity! It just doesn’t happen without YOU!

Because of you, more of our local heroes will get the chance to visit the memorials built in their honor — a trip of a lifetime they so richly deserve.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for helping us keep the promise to “Never Forget.” ❤️🤍💙

Remembering that day.

On September 11, 2001, like so many others, I sat watching — stunned — as the unthinkable unfolded.

I remember watching the smoke billowing from the North Tower as the nation wondered.

I remember watching in horror as the second plane plowed into the South Tower.

I remember the 343 firefighters and the 73 LEOs who ran into those towers as the nation gasped.

I remember the ash-covered faces running through the smoke as the towers came down.

I remember the faces of the missing being posted on makeshift bulletin boards as hope dwindled.

I remember Todd Beamer’s last words — “Let’s Roll!” — as he and other passengers rushed the hijackers.

I remember a country coming together and putting aside its differences as every shelf was stripped of the American flag.

I remember promising myself that I would Never Forget.

Twenty-four years later, that promise hasn’t faded. Every year, I pour my time, my energy, my heart into this event… not for applause, not for a paycheck, not even for “likes.”

For me, it’s not about the ride. It’s not about the concerts. It’s not about the food, the beer or the wine, the vendors or the auctions… it’s about remembering those faces. It’s about honoring those who stepped in after them — who wouldn’t think twice about running into those towers for you and me.

Take a moment to remember. Remember those we lost, and help us pay tribute to those who serve.
“Never Forget”

09/07/2025

WOW. What a year. Soaring highs, crashing lows — and absolutely a Weekend to Remember.

The moments that stay with me: the National Anthem that once again brought a tear to my eye… the silence before “Amazing Grace”… veterans with hands over hearts… the hugs, the tears, the laughter — and strangers who felt like family by day’s end.

For now, cold brew in hand, I’m kickin’ back — it’s been one incredible journey this year.
Tomorrow I’m watchin’ the ‘Skins game!

More to come Tuesday. Drop your comments, pictures, and videos below — let us see the weekend through your eyes.
