Charity Ride Rolls Out Big Support for Hoffman Homes
[Gettysburg, PA, June 2025] – On Saturday, June 7th, riders hit the road for the annual Hoffman Homes Charity Ride at Battlefield Harley-Davidson in Gettysburg, PA. Motorcycle enthusiasts and supporters came together for a meaningful day of riding, connection, and community—all in support of the mental health services provided by Hoffman Homes.
The event kicked off with registration at 9:00 AM and Kickstands Up at 10:00 AM, as participants hit the road for a scenic ride that included a heartfelt stop at Hoffman Homes. Riders and guests were welcomed on-site to see the impact of their support firsthand, creating a personal connection between their ride and the individuals they help serve.
The ride concluded back at Battlefield Harley-Davidson with lunch for all participants, along with raffles, giveaways, and small games of chance that added to the fun and community spirit. Friends and families joined in, making it a full-day celebration of generosity and support.
“We’re always amazed by the turnout at this event and the generous spirit of our community,” said Becky Van der Groef, CEO of Hoffman Homes. “Events like this remind us that when people come together, real change happens for those who need it most.”
The event was made possible through the dedication and coordination of Blaine Gladfelter and the God Bless America Motorcycle Color Guard, whose continued support and leadership have been instrumental in bringing this ride to life each year. Their commitment to Hoffman Homes and the youth we serve helps create not only a successful event but a meaningful impact that lasts far beyond the open road.
Proceeds from the ride directly benefit Hoffman Homes’ therapeutic programs, residential care, and educational services, which support individuals across Pennsylvania who have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect, or loss.
