This year, participants raised an incredible $7.3 million USD, pushing the DGR’s total fundraising tally to over $60 million USD since its inception in 2012.
A Global Movement with Local Impact:
Founded by Mark Hawwa, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has grown into the world’s largest charity motorcycle event. For the 12th consecutive year, the event was proudly supported by Triumph Motorcycles, while also celebrating 10 years of partnership with Movember. Together, these collaborations have expanded the scope of the initiative to include men’s mental health alongside prostate cancer.
“Every year, our community unites to raise critical funds and awareness,” said Hawwa. “To see over 125,000 riders take to the streets in more than 1,000 cities is nothing short of extraordinary. We’ve reached incredible milestones together, and it’s inspiring to witness how far we’ve come.”
Milestones and Partnerships
The 2025 edition also marks a decade-long partnership with luxury helmet brand Hedon, who once again crafted unique helmets for the top 100 fundraisers. Additional support came from CMSNL, ELF Lubricants, Quad Lock, and BRETT Eyewear.
Donations remain open until June 1, 2025, with fundraising efforts continuing to determine prize winners.
The Legacy Continues:
Since 2012, the DGR has connected riders worldwide through a mix of style, unity, and social impact, making it a cultural phenomenon as much as a fundraising powerhouse.
