Brenden's Ride 2026: A Successful Return

On July 18, 2026, Brenden's Ride made its long-awaited return, bringing together riders, drivers, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters for an unforgettable day in support of Easter Seals BC.

After a seven-year hiatus, it was incredible to see the Brenden's Ride community come back together to continue a tradition that began in 2014. Although the morning greeted us with a little rain, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits. Riders embraced the weather as they made their way from Rusty's Neighbourhood Pub in Cloverdale to Easter Seals Camp Squamish. By the time everyone arrived, the sun had broken through, creating the perfect backdrop for the afternoon.

Before the ride began, every participant received a blue memorial ribbon to tie onto their motorcycle or support vehicle. The ribbons were displayed proudly throughout the ride in memory of Baron Parker, Brenden's dad, who helped create Brenden's Ride alongside Brenden in 2014. It was a meaningful way to honour Baron's legacy and recognize the passion and dedication he had for bringing people together to support Easter Seals BC. Seeing blue ribbons riding together was a touching reminder that his spirit continues to be a part of every mile of Brenden's Ride.

The event featured live music by Matt Kennedy, a delicious lunch, an exciting silent auction, a 50/50 draw, and, most importantly, the opportunity to reconnect while raising funds for the life-changing programs offered by Easter Seals BC.

Every rider, passenger, volunteer, donor, and sponsor played an important role in making the return of Brenden's Ride such a tremendous success. While we're still finalizing this year's fundraising total, we look forward to announcing the amount raised during a cheque presentation in the coming weeks.
