About our foundation
What is the LOVE RIDE®
The LOVE RIDE® Event started back in 1984 and started raising money for the less fortunate. The LOVE RIDE® FOUNDATION raised over 25 million during its 32 years of the Love Ride® Annual Events for some great causes and charities alike. During the years it was put on by bikers to show good will towards the community. The LOVE RIDE® grew into one of the biggest biker charity events in the world. However, after 32 years the Love Ride® Foundation’s aging and tired Board of Director decided during 2015 to put the event on hiatus until further notice. Now with the Board recharged and active again it has decided to bring the event back on November 10, 2019 and plans for LOVE RIDE® 33 has begun. The proceeds of Love Ride® 33 will benefit the Santa Clarita Education Foundation which promotes innovation and excellence in education through community engagement and investment opportunities in fifty-four public K-12 schools.
