Riders 4 Children aims to provide education, awareness, and funds that help exempt organizations who focus on the needs of children. We hold an annual motorcycle ride/event and attend other fundraising events to raise awareness and raise funds. Those funds help provide support for children facing unforeseen illness and their families who are in need of shelter and resources to keep them close to their child receiving the care required.
What We Do
Organized by Doug Zurek (Riders 4 Children Founder) the inaugural ride was held on Labor Day weekend, 2021. With the support of local sponsors and riders, that ride raised over $16,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado.
In 2022, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Riders 4 Children was formed and hosted the motorcycle ride.
Riders 4 Children aims to align with the mission of nonprofit organizations who focus on the needs of children, providing support for those facing unforeseen illness and/or are in need of shelter and resources. The Board of Directors come from areas of law enforcement, Information Technology, and the motorcycle industry and are passionate about riding motorcycles. They bring that same passion with them as they put many hours into organizing the annual event.
With the continuous support from sponsors, donors, and attendees, every year’s event grows in numbers to include the amount donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado. Riders 4 Children has donated over $85,000 since the first annual ride in 2021.
Teaming up with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado has been rewarding as we have helped support families with critically ill children during their time of unforeseen medical crisis.
Please consider supporting this ride by participating, being a sponsor and/or with donation/s so we can continue to support families served by Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado. It has been our honor to help families feel at home, even when they can’t be.
