Becoming A Sponsor Is Easy!
As our 8th Annual Post Traumatic Stress Awareness Motorcycle Ride approaches, we are reaching out to local businesses and community partners for support.
Operation At Ease is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that rescues dogs from shelters, pairs them with deserving veterans and first responders, and provides free training for post-traumatic stress and mobility service dogs. We are proud to be the only organization in the Capital District offering these services.
We are currently seeking sponsors for our 2026 Motorcycle and Car Ride, taking place July 25, 2026. This police-escorted ride begins and ends at Spitzies Harley-Davidson in Albany. In past years, we have hosted over 350 riders.
Your donation directly supports our mission by helping provide animal-assisted therapy and trained service dogs to veterans and first responders.
Sincerely,
Joni Bonilla
Founder & CEO, Operation At Ease Inc.
