Revere’s Riders Donates to Ascension St. Vincent Cancer Center and Ovar’Coming Together
Revere’s Riders has presented pre-paid gas cards to Ascension St. Vincent Hospital’s Cancer Center and Ovar’coming Together to be given to ovarian cancer patient’s who would otherwise have difficulty affording travel expenses to make health care appointments.
The Marty Brown Memorial™ series of fundraising events generate the monies used to purchase the pre-paid gas cards. Ascension St. Vincent was presented with sixty-four $50 cards ($3,200 total value) and Ovar’coming Together was presented with fifty $50 gas cards ($2,500 total value).
The Marty Brown Memorial™ series is held in memory of Phil Brown’s late wife Marty who fought ovarian cancer for 40 months before finally succumbing in early 2017. Marty was a rifle instructor with Revere’s Riders and a passionate supporter of the shooting sports. In the fall of 2017, Marty’s family and some of her friends gathered at one of her favorite places: the long-distance rifle ranges of Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh, IN. That first informal gathering sparked the idea of holding an annual fundraising event to support other ovarian cancer patients so their lives might be just a little easier while receiving treatment.
After 9 years of the Marty Brown Memorial™ events, Revere’s Riders has raised an approximate total of $95,000 towards supporting ovarian cancer patients both in Indiana and Ohio. Revere’s Riders ran three Marty Brown Memorial™ events in 2025 (two in Indiana and one in Ohio); in 2026, we plan to add an additional event in Indiana that will be either a “defensive pistol” or “defensive rifle” style event.
None of this would have been possible without the generous donations by more than 130 companies, both inside and outside the firearms industry.
Please consider giving your business to one of the more than 130 companies that have so generously supported Marty Brown Memorial™ series of events.
Revere’s Riders would also like to thank Ovar’coming Together for partnering with us back in 2018 when this all started. We were (and still are) a small non-profit organization that most people have never heard of; worse, we were involved with firearms. If Ovar’coming Together hadn’t taken a chance with us, we would have had nowhere to donate the monies we raised.
If you were not able to make it to any of 2025’s Marty Brown Memorial™ events and would still like to help, please consider donating directly to either Ovar’coming Together in Indiana or Ovarian Cancer Connection in Ohio.
Revere’s Riders hopes to see you at one of our 2026 events. Subscribe to our “Upcoming Events” email newsletter to receive notice of upcoming events in your inbox so you don’t miss anything!
