Captain’s Club 2025

It is with great pleasure that we post the Captain’s Club list for the 2025 season!

Please note we have pared down the list to just members who have been active in the last five years.   Not to worry, you are a Captain’s Club Member for life, all other names can be found in the Archive List. 

Membership in the Captain’s Club is the prestigious honour attained by Riders and Champions who have acquired a total of $1,000 or more in pledges.

 Once a member acquires a total of at least $1,000 in pledges they enter the Club at the Bronze level.  Members have the opportunity to work their way up to Silver, Gold, three levels of Diamond and finally into the Platinum level of over $100,000.

These pledges are tracked year over year and from Ride to Ride and the funds raised are cumulative.

 Captain’s Club members represent the very backbone of our fight against prostate cancer.  So it was a pleasure to share our 25^th Anniversary Celebration Season with you

2025 was another solid year leading us into the next 25 years of the Ride For Dad story.   As always our Captain’s Club members took the lead and our annual numbers continue to grow.

Captain’s Club Members

The numbers have been tallied for 2025 and the lists are posted here at ridefordad.ca   Once again these lists have revealed some amazing statistics.

Platinum   We have made some exciting changes to the Platinum level for 2025.  The incredible numbers being produced by the “Big Guns” has prompted us to re-organize, adding four new levels above Platinum.  As a result; Garry Bernard ($162,712.40 ) moves up to Double Platinum , both Lynn Norton ($203,463.61) & Tony Kusiak ($234,767.30) hit Triple Platinum and the man at the top of the pile; Derek Pickford ($316,712.00) becomes our first Master Class recipient !! Congratulations to you all !

Our Platinum level group now stands at fourteen members, who as a group, have raised in excess of 2.1 Million dollars lifetime.

For a further breakdown of the numbers and other interesting items please open the attachment for your March Issue of the Captain’s Club Update newsletter.

The Captain’s Club data is updated annually and we are constantly working to create the most accurate lists possible for you.

This year we are posting (4) lists;

• Our full Captain’s Club list (almost 5000) in their levels members listed in order of lifetime money collected. Members that moved up a level are highlighted in Blue, and new members highlighted in green.
• Our full Captain’s Club Alphabetical list has all our members listed alphabetically, and again members that moved up a level are in blue and new members are in green.
• Our Captain’s Club list of New & Upgrades isolates just the member that moved up a level or are new to the Club .   
• Our Captain’s Club top earners for just 2025, lists all our members that brought in money for 202 ranked from top down.

When entering the Club, you are issued a Captains Club Number, please take note of your CC number and use it whenever you are registering pledges.  Our Club is very large so it helps us immensely to ensure we don’t split your contributions between two or more versions of yourself.  We appreciate your patience if there is a problem and we will get it corrected
