There are rides that stay with you – not because of the distance, or the views, but because of the reason behind them.

This Sept. 24 and 25, the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation’s Motorcycle Ride for Charity returns for its 18th year! This two-day journey takes riders through some of Northern Ontario’s most scenic landscapes. But this isn’t just about a motorcycle ride – it’s about showing up for the people who need us most.

The Ride raises funds for the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation, which works with shelter and food-related charities across the province, helping those facing hunger, homelessness, or crisis.

The Ride: Camaraderie meets cause

What started 18 years ago has grown into one of the Foundation’s most recognizable fundraisers. The Motorcycle Ride for Charity attracts REALTORS®, broker-owners, board leaders, and passengers from all corners of Ontario. It’s a chance to connect, reflect, and give back.

Day 1 takes riders from Collingwood to Tobermory, across the ferry to Manitoulin Island, and finishes in Sudbury.

Day 2 picks back up in Sudbury, winds through North Bay and Muskoka, ending in Barrie.

Riders are welcome to join us for one day, both days, or mid-route. It’s a journey of more than just kilometers as riders return with a deeper sense of connection to the mission and the impact they help create.

Many ways to get involved

You don’t need a motorcycle to support the cause! Here’s how you can make an impact, whether you’re a rider or not: 

• Ride with Us – Registration is open for riders and passengers. 
• Pledge a Rider – Support someone who’s riding! Or you can also pledge a general donation towards the cause. 
• Sponsor the Ride – Brokerages, boards, and associations can sponsor a stop, or even match donations to increase impact.
• Spread the Word – Share the Ride within your network, your company, or your community. Visibility fuels donations.

Whether you give $20 or $100, every dollar raised supports someone in need right here at home.

Why now matters more than ever

Ontario continues to face record-breaking housing and food affordability issues. Housing is becoming out of reach for many. Food banks are struggling to keep up with demand. As REALTORS®, you understand the power of living in a safe home and food on the table – and you know what’s at stake when either one is missing. The Foundation helps fund the frontline organizations helping Ontarians through the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

So whether you’re a rider, a donor, or a brokerage leader looking to donate to a great cause or mobilize your team, this is your opportunity to do something that you love while giving back to a great cause.

Let’s hit the road and come together to show what REALTORS® can do when we ride with purpose.

The foundation behind the ride

The Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation is an independent, charitable arm of Ontario REALTORS®. Its mission is simple but powerful: to support local charities that provide food, shelter, safety, and dignity to people in need.

In 2024, more than $1.8 million was donated to over 170 food and shelter-related charitable organizations, including women’s shelters, food banks, transitional housing services, and mental health agencies.

Every dollar raised stays here in Ontario, which helps people in the communities REALTORS® serve every day.
