Patriot Pack Announces 16th Anniversary Reunion & Final Celebration of Its Motorcycle-Ride Legacy
The Patriot Pack, a volunteer organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for charitable causes, will celebrate the 16th anniversary of the Patriot Pack Ride with a special reunion on the evening of Feb. 28, 2027, at the McCormick Ranch Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Patriot Pack is proud to have donated 100% of all contributions raised, over 16 years, to worthy charitable causes.
The anniversary gathering will welcome the many riders, sponsors, hosts, office technology dealerships, manufacturers, leasing companies, friends and supporters who have made the Patriot Pack's mission possible over the past 16 years.
For nearly two decades, the Patriot Pack Ride has brought together members of the office technology industry and charitable community through motorcycle rides across the country. During its 16-year history, Patriot Pack participants traveled through nearly 45 states and made almost 450 stops at office technology dealerships, manufacturers and leasing companies throughout the United States. At every stop, the group shared its charitable mission, strengthened industry relationships and encouraged support for meaningful causes.
"The Patriot Pack Ride has always been about far more than motorcycles," said Mike Stramaglio, president and CEO, Stramaglio Consulting. "It has been about friendship, generosity, service and the remarkable people and organizations who opened their doors, rode alongside us, sponsored our efforts and supported the charities we serve. This reunion is an opportunity to honor that extraordinary legacy and thank everyone who helped make it happen."
The Patriot Pack supported a diverse range of charitable organizations and initiatives over the years. Beneficiaries have included the Jillian Fund at Hackensack Hospital, veterans' scholarships, veterans-focused charities and cancer-related organizations, including the Valvano Group. Through the support of participants and partners, the Patriot Pack has worked to turn shared enthusiasm for the industry and the open road into meaningful charitable impact.
While 2026 marks the retirement of the motorcycle portion of the Patriot Pack's activities, the organization's charitable mission will continue. The Patriot Pack will remain committed to raising funds and supporting organizations that serve veterans, patients, families and communities in need.
The Feb. 28, 2027, reunion will serve as both a celebration of the Patriot Pack Ride's 16-year journey and a recognition of the community that sustained it — from the first participants and sponsors to the many hosts and supporters encountered along the way.
All former participants, sponsors, hosts, dealership partners, manufacturers, leasing-company partners and friends of the Patriot Pack are invited to join the celebration.
