The August 27-28 Ride to Conquer Cancer raised over $7 million for charity, and Realtors were a key part of that success!

Riders for Ryders (pictured right), the team led by REALTORS Care® Award winner Jimi Brocket, is the second largest fundraiser for the event, collecting $267,821.

Jimi lost his son Ryder to brain cancer. During the treatment process, Jimi saw his community come to his aid and support his family through this tough time. As soon as he was in the position to give back, he jumped at the opportunity.

The team has raised over $2.6 million since 2009, and Jimi has personally raised $120,000. Jimi also founded Foundation 33, a non-profit dedicated to help families affected by cancer by just making them smile.

Dexter Realtors Marty and Adam Pospischil also have a team, Team Pospischil, which raised $6,640. Fifteen Realtors with Dexter Associates have raised $274,461 this year so far for the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

Commercial Realtor Sheldon Scott, Colliers International, was able to personally raise well over his goal of $10,000 for the charity as well.
