Ride for Refuge 2025

Ride for Refuge 2025

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at Ride for Refuge Saskatoon on October 4! This marks our fourth year organizing this fundraiser and we are truly grateful for the continued support that builds each year.

This year, we have raised over $38,000! These funds will help our most vulnerable clients get past their worst day, week, month, or year. We are thrilled to see our community come together and show their commitment and solidarity with refugees and immigrants.

Ride for Refuge would not be possible without our incredible partnerships and the support we receive from all over our community. Thank you so much to our wonderful sponsors that made this such a successful campaign and event.

A big shout-out to our top fundraising team, the REACH Providers, who went above and beyond, raising 125% of their goal! We’re so grateful to everyone who started a team, donated, and encouraged friends and family to get involved. And an extra thank-you to our dedicated GGP staff for all the effort and heart they put into raising funds over the past few months!

Thank you to Piper Max Redekop, Bailatinas Dance group, Chinese Dance School of Saskatchewan, Siavash Yari, and Ameya School of Dance for the outstanding performances. Thank you to Nirmal’s Henna for sharing their beautiful art with our participants.

See you all next year on October 3! It’s going to be a good one!
