Charity Ride | June 7, 2025
Ride for a Cause
The Brothers of the Fork Inc. (BOTF) is a non-profit cycling club. In 2020 the club founded the Bridge to Nowhere Charity Ride(BTNW). Our mission is to help end chronic homelessness in Winnipeg, making our community a better place.
Each year, BOTF chooses 4-5 local organization as beneficiaries of the funds raised from BTNW ride. In previous years, our beneficiaries have included Resource Assistance For Youth, Mama Bear Clan, Red Road Lodge, Bear Clan Patrol, and Inner City Youth Alive. In 2024, The Bridge to Nowhere ride raised $131,946.16, (net proceeds divided amongst the above organizations). The above list of grass root organizations all work in the homeless sector. These organizations manage to stretch ride funds 4-fold, in order to support our unsheltered community.
We thank all our sponsors, riders, donators, partners, volunteers, committee members who all help contribute to the ongoing success of this charity ride. Thank you.
