As we reflect on the retirement of the Ride for Arch Dragonfly Run after ten incredible years, there is one group we simply have to recognize and thank.

The Bikers Rights Organization (BRO) of Sault Ste. Marie.

For those who may not know, BRO is a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting the rights and freedoms of motorcyclists while promoting safety, respect, camaraderie, and community involvement. Their members are passionate advocates for the riding community and are committed to supporting causes that make a positive difference both on and off the road.

From the very first Ride for ARCH in 2015, BRO was there.

And from that day forward, they never stopped showing up.

For ten years, they stood beside us with unwavering support, without hesitation.

Whether it was setting up the bike games, helping spread the word, volunteering, donating their time, bringing riders, supporting our events, or simply showing up year after year, BRO was always there.

Not because they had to.

Because they believed in community.

Because they cared.

Because that's who they are.

Their principles of loyalty, advocacy, respect, and giving back have always been evident in everything they do. They understand that being part of the motorcycle community means more than just riding—it means supporting one another, standing up for what matters, and helping those in need.

When you organize a charity ride, you quickly learn who you can count on. Over the last decade, BRO proved time and time again that they were a group we could always count on.

The Ride for Arch Dragonfly Run was never just about motorcycles. It was about bringing people together, supporting one another, helping families, and building something meaningful within our community.

BRO understood that from the very beginning.

As we close the chapter on the Dragonfly Run, Alex and I want to express our sincere gratitude to every BRO member who supported us throughout the journey.

Thank you for every mile ridden.

Thank you for every helping hand.

Thank you for every conversation, every laugh, every act of kindness, and every year of support.

Most importantly, thank you for believing in us and in what we were trying to accomplish.

Ten years goes by in the blink of an eye.

The ride may be over, but the friendships, respect, and memories remain.

Now we'd like to encourage our riding community to support BRO's upcoming Shoot & Scoot Ride. If you've ever ridden with us, volunteered with us, or supported the Dragonfly Run over the years, we'd love to see you return that support to an organization that has given so much to the motorcycle community. Bone Yard 225 will be playing the after party at Beck's Bar.

To everyone at BRO:

Thank you for standing with us from Day One.

Your support never wavered.

Your loyalty never went unnoticed.

And your friendship will always be appreciated.

We'll see you down the road.

🏍️🦋❤️

After a lot of thought, a lot of heart, and some very honest conversations, Alex and I have made the decision to officially retire the Ride for ARCH Dragonfly Run.
This is not a decision we made lightly.
For 10 beautiful years, this ride has been such a meaningful part of our lives. What started as an idea grew into something far bigger than us — a day filled with motorcycles, music, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, donations, laughter, tears, memories, and community.
Together, over the years, we have raised close to $180,000 for ARCH.
That number still takes my breath away.
Every single rider, vendor, volunteer, sponsor, musician, business, friend, family member, and supporter who showed up in any way helped make that happen. Whether you donated a prize, bought a ticket, rode your bike, shared a post, set up a table, played music, helped behind the scenes, or simply came out to support the cause — you were part of something incredibly special.
I am so deeply grateful to everyone who has come forward this year wanting to be part of it again. I had already sent out vendor applications, and I’m truly sorry that I now have to rescind those. Please know how much I appreciate your willingness, your support, and your generosity.
But in my heart, I know it’s time.
We have a lot on our plate right now, and this event has always deserved my full energy, my full attention, and my full heart. The truth is, I don’t feel I can give it the amount of time, effort, and care that it deserves this year. And something this meaningful should never be done halfway.
So instead of pushing ourselves past what we can carry, we are choosing to honour what it was.
Ten good years.
Ten years of giving back.
Ten years of community showing up.
Ten years of turning love, loss, and purpose into something that helped others.
The Dragonfly Run will always be one of the things I am most proud of. It changed us. It connected us with so many beautiful people. It showed us what a small group of determined hearts can do when they come together for a cause that matters.
This isn’t a failure. It isn’t a sad ending.
It’s a completed chapter.
And sometimes, the most respectful thing you can do for something you love is know when to let it rest with dignity.
To everyone who helped us build the Ride for ARCH Dragonfly Run over the last decade — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We will carry those memories forever.
With love and gratitude,
Marcy & Alex

Just sent out the vendor emails for this year’s ARCH Dragonfly Run and I’m feeling so excited. 🖤🧡

Every year this event comes together because of kind-hearted people, local businesses, volunteers, musicians, riders, and community members who believe in showing up for something bigger than themselves.

This year’s ride is happening Sunday, August 23, 2026 at The Grand Gardens, and we are so grateful for every vendor — new and returning — who wants to be part of it.

This event means so much because all proceeds go to ARCH Hospice, including the vendor table fees. That means every table, every donation, every bit of support helps make a real difference.

We’ll have vendors, entertainment outside, bigger outdoor setups, a pizza and pasta buffet, and so much heart behind the whole day. Even more beautiful? So much of this event is built on a volunteer basis — including the bands performing outside. That kind of generosity says everything.

If you’re a vendor and you’ve been waiting to hear from me, your email should be on its way or already in your inbox. And if you’d like to be part of this amazing day, feel free to reach out.

It’s going to be such a special one. Community. Music. Giving back. Good people coming together for a beautiful cause.
