“When I first heard about Final Salute, I was absolutely shocked that I’d never even given a thought to the plight of female veterans in need. Who talks about them? Nobody! Of course there are female Veterans, but if I was overlooking them, I imagine that nobody else was thinking about them either. Final Salute does so much for our female veterans, and I want to support them in supporting our lady vets. I hope to help raise awareness of their plight by talking about them at my events and choosing to support them with a sizable donation,” said Alisa Clickenger, Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride and Women’s Motorcycle Festival and Conference Event Producer.
Final Salute Inc. was founded in 2010 by a woman Veteran and cancer survivor who became aware of the many homeless women Veterans in the United States. She realized a need for an organization designed to meet and understand the unique needs of homeless women Veterans and their children.
There may no longer be front lines in war; however, female Veterans feel they are put at the end of the line when seeking housing and other supportive services. Since the Revolutionary War, over 2,000,000 women have served with honor. They have fulfilled their obligations to their country. We need to support them during their time of need.
With the help of the American people, foundation, and corporate supporters, Final Salute Inc. is able to achieve their mission. Why do they do this? Because it's the right thing to do.
For each registered rider participating in the Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride and attendee to the Women's Cycle Festival & Conference, a $10-$50 donation will be given to Final Salute, Inc. to support their mission and goals for helping women veterans. Attendees to the Women’s Motorcycle Festival & Conference, August 19-22 will also have an opportunity to meet members of this organization and make a donation.
