We are extremely proud to be sponsoring the annual Big Nick's Ride for the Fallen, and are partnering with Cape and Islands Veterans Outreach Center to hold a “Fill an F-550” food drive to benefit veterans and military families the week before the ride! We’re happy to have this opportunity to give back to and honor those who selflessly served our country 🇺🇸 Stay tuned for more updates!
WHY WE RIDE
BNR XVII
Incredible meeting today with Chris Sneed and his outstanding team at Balise Ford of Cape Cod alongside our Big Nick Ride team leaders as we prepare to join forces this July for something truly special.
Together, we are planning to fill a Ford F-550 truck with food for veterans as part of Big Nick’s Ride Week, helping support veterans and military families across Cape Cod and the Islands. We are also working on plans to include Balise Ford as an official stop on our Saturday poker run during Big Nick’s Ride XVII Weekend 2026. Lots more to come.
This effort is part of a nationwide project called the Summer of Community—Feeding America—celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America — a journey that began right here in Massachusetts, the birthplace of American freedom and independence. It is an honor to stand together in support of those who served our nation.
This is what Big Nick’s Ride is all about:
Faith
Family
Friends
Flag
Freedom
Motorcycles bringing people together.
Communities helping veterans.
Americans standing strong and united.
Special thanks to Chris and his incredible team, Dawn, and all of our Big Nick Ride leaders and volunteers for stepping up in such a meaningful way.
More to come. God bless
