We love Jason! ⭐️

As continues, we’re so grateful to celebrate Jason, a volunteer and dedicated member of the Organizing Committee for Safety Drive for a Cure!

Jason’s journey with us began in 2017 after a chance meeting with the event's founder, Herschel Evans. This year marked his seventh Safety Drive for a Cure and his fifth year on the Organizing Committee, where he continues to be a passionate, driving force. For Jason, volunteering is a "true labor of love." He finds immense joy and purpose in supporting kids with brain cancer and their families, working tirelessly to ensure they feel the strength of a community and know they never have to face this journey alone.

Thank you, Jason, for being a champion for our families and helping us provide crucial care and hope!

This week, we reflected on the origins of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Ride for Kids program. Now, we're looking toward the future with the All For One Challenge.

This powerful movement unites the entire powersports community with the ambitious goal of raising $1 million by the end of the year. Riders, dealerships, and corporate partners are coming together to directly fund lifesaving research and essential support for families of children battling brain tumors.

We are thrilled to share that we have already raised $175,000+ toward our goal! We invite everyone, especially those in the powersports community, to join us in turning compassion into action.

For 42 years, purpose-driven riders like Joseph have powered Ride for Kids, proving that there is no cure without collaboration.

With Brain Tumor Awareness Month just three weeks away, we’re reflecting on the beginning of the journey that brought us here.

When Mike and Dianne Traynor first founded the Ride for Kids program over four decades ago, their dream and mission was to bring the motorcycle community together to fight childhood brain tumors.
Today, that vision has grown into the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. For over 40 years, the powersports and motorcycling industry has shown an unwavering dedication to our children. By raising critical funds and connecting the pediatric brain tumor community with a network of compassionate partners, riders have given hope to the thousands of children diagnosed each year. Because of this incredible generosity, families have access to care when they need it most, and groundbreaking research is advancing to drive the next treatment breakthrough.

Our recent kickoff webinar brought together riders, supporters, and champions dedicated to making a difference for children with brain tumors.

We heard inspiring stories from our community, including Dan P. from Northern California, who highlighted the growing support from IBEW. The Spagnolo family reminded us why we ride by sharing how this community supported their son. We also celebrated the Angier Bike Fest's upcoming 25th anniversary in June with Neoma D. and detailed the All for One Challenge, emphasizing how our current momentum is crucial for success.
