Dear Ride4Paws Family,

We are deeply grateful for everyone who stepped up to support Ride4Paws. Despite the weather, 50 dedicated riders took to the road, demonstrating their commitment to our furry friends.

THANK YOU to each and every one of you! Between riders, sponsors and donors we raised $10,660! 100% will go directly towards helping dogs in need.

Thank you to our sponsors: Pinnacle Logistics, Purina Canada, CAA Niagara, Mortgages & Wealth, Team Milos - Royal LePage NRC Realty Brokerageand Fun Country Pools. We could not have done this without you.

A special thank you goes to Ultimate Exotics for the amazing first prize, Bones from the Niagara IceDogs, and all the businesses that donated prizes. We appreciate 97.7 HTZ-FM, Niagara's Move 105.7, and Newstalk 610 CKTB for spreading the word and supporting our event, as well as our fantastic stops: Husky Travel Centre - St.Catharines, Blackburn Brew House, CAA Niagara, Tons of Bike Gear, Mohawk Marina & Hippo's and Willoughby Firehall.

Additionally, thank you to Starbucks-261 Martindale Rd., St. Catharines for supplying coffee and to Tim Hortons-990 East Main St. Welland for supplying coffee and donuts along the way! There were many appreciative Riders (and volunteers as well).

And most of all... THANK YOU to each and every one of you that came out and supported our Ride. Your participation and enthusiasm made an enormous difference and we couldn’t have done it without you. We hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did.
