Colton Amster is an expert in the field of automotive restoration. The owner of Redline Restorations, based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Colton Amster has supported a variety of charitable organizations through activities such as providing a special ride for a local veteran through the Wounded Warrior program.

Wounded Warrior is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing assistance and aid to mentally or physically injured veterans. The organization was founded in 2003 by a small group of veterans and interested individuals in Roanoke, Virginia, who recognized the need for greater services to injured veterans in the country, and has since grown to offer services throughout the entire United States.

The organization has a multitude of programs that focus on the mind, body, capabilities, and reintegration of veterans into society, so as to encompass all the struggles these individuals may face. One such program, designed for treatment of the body, is called Soldier Ride. This program consists of a four-day cycling event for veterans at any fitness level. It is designed to encourage and increase physical activity while creating a community of support and engagement with fellow veterans. Soldier Ride also works to empower participants with new levels of confidence and self-esteem.
