This band faithfully recreates the soulful and bluesy sounds of Bonnie Raitt, performing beloved tracks like "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Something to Talk About" taking the audience through a nostalgic journey of Raitt's extensive catalog?.

Adding to the show, Begging Angels will deliver a unique performance that blends Americana with elements of country, southern rock, and classic rock. Known for their vibrant stage presence and versatile musicality, Begging Angels will contribute to an incredible and engaging musical lineup?.

As you soak in the music, tantalize your taste buds at the Food Truck Rodeo, offering a wide variety of culinary delights to satisfy all tastes.

This is a BIGGIE! 

In 2013, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs released a study that covered suicides from 1999 to 2010, which showed that roughly 22 veterans were dying by suicide every day, or one every 65 minutes. Some sources suggest that this rate may be undercounting suicides. We need to help. We'd love your support.

The challenge is to ride 22 miles per day for 22 days for a total of 484 miles.

This virtual ride challenge can also be done anywhere you like - your neighborhood, your favorite twisties, on back roads or highways; you can even clock your miles on the way back and forth from work. 

Whether you’re twisting the throttle or pumping the pedals, you’ll have between July 4th and Sept. 11th to complete this Challenge in however many sessions you’d like. It’s completely up to you! Help us fight this terrible trend.

Rochester Police Officer Daryl Pierson.

On Saturday, September 20th, we will be holding a community charity walk at the Mall at Greece Ridge.

This will be the 2nd time we've held a charity walk at the mall. Hundreds joined us for the "Walk for W. Webster Firefighters" on January 5th of 2013 raising $3600.00 for the families of volunteer firefighter and Police Lt. Michael Chiapperini, Tomasz Kaczowka, Theodore Scardino, Joseph Hofstetter and Greece Police officer John Ritter.

Registration for the walk will begin at 8:00 A.M. in the Food Court at the mall - the walk begins at 9:15 A.M. A minimum donation of $10 per person is requested. The first 100 participants who donate $20 or more will receive a free memorial T-shirt. Children 12 and under are free but will not receive a t-shirt.

Proceeds go to:< br> The Family of Officer Daryl Pierson< br> c/o The Rochester Police Locust Club, Inc.< br> 1425 Lexington Avenue< br> Rochester, New York 14606< br>

The event is intended to bring the community together in an in-door environment to pay tribute to Officer Pierson. Funds raised will be donated to the his family.

Perhaps you know someone who would love to join you at the walk, but cannot for some reason. We've created this "Pledge Form" to allow them to support Officer Pierson's family without actually being present. Simply have them sign the form, collect their donation and give them to one of our registration team members on Saturday!

Supported by:< br> - Genesee Valley C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors)< br> - Patriot Guard Riders< br> - The Mall at Greece Ridge< br> - Tim Horton's< br> - Wegmans< br>

We hope you will join us and the community in this warm and dry location to support the hero’s affected by this tragedy.

Please share and help spread the word.

Brief Description
The popular Upstate NY Trot w/ Troops is heading back to the Big City. Join us on June 5rd for NYC's 2nd Annual 5K Trot and Military March – in cadence – with our nation’s finest supporting Operation Patriot Foundation’s mission to help our troops returning from combat.

ABOUT THE 5K TROT
Trot w/ Troops is not a race, it's a charity walk/run with proceeds supporting our troops returning from combat. There are two components to Trot w/ Troops - the March and the Trot. If you enjoy running, the Trot is a full-blown double-time run. For those who want to participate in the fundraiser but running is not for you, simply join the Military March. Both will be in formation and lead by U.S. Military personnel calling out cadence. LOUD & PROUD is the theme so prepare to make noise!

PRIOR SERVICE / VETERANS
If you're prior service, wear your military fatigues, PT uniform (or any other military uniform you wish to trot in) and join your branch at the front of the pack. Registration is not required.

MARCH vs TROT
Choosing to March (walk) or Trot (run) is simply for staging purposes. If you plan to "Trot", you will line up in formation at the front of the pack. "Marchers" will line up behind the "Trotters". This is to keep the traffic moving and avoid runners passing walkers.

FORMATION
We ask that all participants line up in formation with our Troops. PLEASE do not break formation or pass the person lined up in front of you. If you feel you need to rest, we ask that you step off the course and fall back in at the end of the pack. Please do not enter back into the formation until all participants have passed.

CADENCE
There will be Military Squad Leaders calling out cadence. As part of the experience, Marchers & Trotters are strongly encouraged to participate by repeating the cadence. LOUD and PROUD is the theme so be prepared to use those vocal chords!

FREE T-SHIRTS
FREE t-shirt to the first 150 PAID registrants. Additional t-shirts may be available for sale at the event while supplies last.

Brief Description
Join us on May 26th, 2013 for Trot w/ Troops at the Naval & Military Park in Buffalo, a 5K Trot / March – in cadence – with our nation’s finest to support Operation Patriot Foundation’s mission to help our troops returning from combat.

About the Trot - 5K+
Trot w/ Troops was organized to support military personnel as they transition back into society. There will be 2 laps at the park bringing you down and back on the Erie Street peninsula. The first lap will be a Military March followed directly into a full-blown double-time Trot. Both will be lead by U.S. Military personnel calling out cadence. LOUD & PROUD is the theme so be ready to make noise!

Prior Service / Veterans
If you're prior service, wear your military fatigues, PT uniform (or any other military uniform you wish to trot in) and join your branch at the front of the pack. Registration is not required.

March vs Trot
Choosing to March (walk) or Trot (run) is simply for staging purposes. There is no extra fee to participate in both. The first lap will be the "March" with the second lap going right into the "Trot". Marchers will line up at the back of the pack with Trotters lined up in the front. Once we break into the double-time "Trot", the Trotters will pull away from the Marchers. This is for safety and traffic purposes so that the marchers will not hold up the trotters.

Formation
We ask that all participants line up in formation with our Troops. PLEASE do not break formation or pass the person lined up in front of you. If you feel you need to rest, we ask that you step off the course and fall back in at the end of the pack. Please do not enter back into the formation until all participants pass you.

Operation Patriot Foundation is responding to the tragedy in West Webster. On Saturday, January 5th, we will be holding a community charity walk – Walk for W. Webster Firefighters – at the Mall at Greece Ridge.

Registration for the walk will begin at 8:30 A.M. with the walk beginning at 9:15 A.M. A minimum donation of $5 per person is requested. The first 100 participants who donate $20 or more will receive a free event T-shirt. Children 12 and under are free.

The event is intended to bring the community together in an in-door environment to pay tribute to volunteer firefighter and Police Lt. Michael Chiapperini, Tomasz Kaczowka, Theodore Scardino, Joseph Hofstetter and Greece Police officer John Ritter.

Funds raised will be donated to the West Webster Volunteer Fireman’s Association.

This will be the second response of Operation Patriot to this tragedy. On Christmas Eve day, just hours after the shootings, the organization posted two American flags on eight-foot poles at the W. Webster firehouse. Each flag has the names of the fallen firefighters (Michael Chiapperini, Tomasz Kaczowka) attached as a memorial to their sacrifice. The flags were visible throughout news media coverage and during the many vigils held for the heroes.

Directly following the posting of the flags, the organization was able to make a monetary donation to the West Webster Volunteer Fireman’s Association in support of the families of the fallen.

Operation Patriot Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization registered with the IRS and the State of NY.

We hope you will join us and the community in this warm and dry location to support the hero’s affected by this tragedy.

Join us on May 29th, 2011 for the 2nd annual Trot w/ Troops in Rochester, a 5K Trot / March – in cadence – with our nation’s finest to support Operation Patriot Foundation’s mission to help our troops returning from combat.

About the Trot - 5K+
Trot w/ Troops was organized to support military personnel as they transition back into society. There will be 2 laps around the scenic River Walk. The first lap will be a Military March followed directly into a full-blown double-time Trot. Both will be lead by U.S. Military personnel calling out cadence. LOUD & PROUD is the theme so be ready to make noise! The route is approximately 3.4 miles – a little more than 5K. Our troops ALWAYS go the extra distance!

Prior Service / Veterans:
If you're prior service, wear your military fatigues, PT uniform (or any other military uniform you wish to trot in) and join your branch at the front of the pack. Registration is not required.

Formation:
We ask that all participants line up in formation with our Troops. PLEASE do not break formation or pass the person lined up in front of you. If you feel you need to rest, we ask that you step off the course and fall back in at the end of the pack. Please do not enter back into the formation until all participants pass you.

Cadence:
There will be Military Squad Leaders calling out cadence. As part of the experience, Marchers & Trotters are strongly encouraged to participate by repeating the cadence. LOUD and PROUD is the theme so be prepared to use those vocal chords!

FREE T-Shirts:
FREE t-shirt to the first 150 PAID registrants. Additional t-shirts may be available for sale at the event while supplies last.

Proceeds to benefit Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 20 Veteran's Court program.

Sorry we missed you last year. The Fast Ferry coming to Rochester is pretty neat, however, as things go, there were delays. The delay affecting our ride was the parking lot. The City and County couldn't verify the lot would be done in time so we had to pass on the ride.

This year we are back!
