Who we are

We are an Association of Combat Veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who ride motorcycles as a hobby. As a registered 501(c)(3) charity, our mission is to support and protect those who have defended our country and our freedoms. Our focus is to provide assistance and help to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, other veteran organizations and registered charities.

Our history

Our Story

CVMA® Minnesota started in June of 2011 with the formation of our first chapter 48-1 in Spring Lake Park, MN. Since then we have grown with several chapters throughout the state. Our unofficial mission of "Vets Helping Vets" is a core pillar of our organization where we seek to help veterans of all walks of life in all stages of their military journey. We are combat veterans, we served in combat areas, however, our service is not exclusive to that experience.

Service in our communities

We have put together rides to benefit single individuals through the ;IGYSIX Continue the Mission Benefit Ride, or volunteered and raised funds for organizations that support veterans like Angel Reins Stables, and even donate funds for organizations that support the children of veterans like United Heroes League.

Not only do we support these and other wonderful organizations, but we also provide a place for veterans to enjoy the fellowship and company of those that have similar experiences while participating in the hobby we all love, riding motorcycles!

Fellowship across the country

See you at an event, or on the road.

We are only the Minnesota chapters of the CVMA®, there are chapters in all 50 states, and several abroad. We hope to see you at one of our many events, or maybe even on the road!
