The event features an all-day motorcycle run and outdoor music festival to support the programs of Operation Ward 57.
As America enters its 14th year of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, showing support for our wounded, ill and injured service members is more important than ever.

There will also be a silent auction at the event from 5-7pm. This is an all ages event.
The music lineup includes Eve to Adam, Klover Jane, Van Eps and JP Hennessy . Special performance of the national anthem by Daniel Nyoka.
Also, U.S. Army Veteran Mary Dague, and former member of the Army’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team, will be speaking to share her experiences of being a double arm amputee and raise awareness for veteran related issues.
All funds raised from the motorcycle run, silent auctions and individual donations will go directly to Operation Ward 57 to support the wounded, ill and injured service members & Veterans recovering around the country. Operation Ward 57 T-shirts that are given to patients and families will also be available for sale at the Rock & Rally event.
The event sponsors Brothers In Arms MC and Lyon Pride Music Founder Levi Lyon were inspired by Operation Ward 57, and were motivated to find a way to make an impact on and improve the overall quality of life of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines that have sacrificed so much in support of OIF/OEF/OND.
