Five Rooftops, One Mission
Webb Auto Group has served Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana for more than 50 years. Five Webb rooftops are standing behind year five of Ride for the Troops:
- Webb Chevy Oak Lawn — serving south Chicago since 2000
- Webb Chevy Plainfield — host store, serving the southwest suburbs since 2013
- Webb Hyundai Highland — serving Northwest Indiana since 2010
- Webb Hyundai Merrillville — serving Northwest Indiana since 2016
- Genesis of Schererville — opened in 2019
What started in 2022 as a small group of riders has grown into one of Chicagoland’s most anticipated military-support fundraisers. The 2026 event is co-presented with TREK Bicycle of Naperville and Downers Grove and benefits USO of Illinois.
