Ride for Refuge Recap

2025 Ride for Refuge ThermometerYou got us to $20,000 and beyond!

Whether you walked alongside us under the hot sun, biked the 10km route with your family and friends, volunteered your time, fundraised on our behalf, made a generous donation, or cheered us on from afar, we can't thank you enough.

Your support will allow us to continue building a community where policy decisions are guided by people’s lived experience, dignified housing is pursued relentlessly for all, and grassroots groups receive the support they deserve. 

A special thank you to the following individuals and organizations...

  • The 15 team captains who rallied their friends, family, and communities in support of this year's event
  • The 72 participants who biked/walked with us and fundraised on our behalf
  • The nearly 20 volunteers who helped with everything from set-up to take-down
  • The family-owned businesses at Longworth Dental Boutique and Wilmot Technologies Inc., who rode alongside us in 2024 and stepped up in 2025 as the event's Rest Stop and Route Sponsors
  • Our incredible community partners: Red Raccoon Bike Rescue, who hosted us and offered free/PWYC bike tune-ups for all participating cyclists; and Cycle WR and Tri-Cities Transport Action Group (TriTAG), whose volunteers helped keep us safe on the cycling route

Thank you for the energy, generosity, and commitment you brought to the 2025 Ride for Refuge. We can’t wait to ride+walk with you again next year on Saturday, October 3, 2026!
