About Us

Riders For A Cause (Local Riders, Cancer Fighters) was founded by friends with a desire to make an impact in honor and in memory of loved ones fighting cancer. Riders For A Cause is an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

The Black Tie Tour was a premier cycling event in Central New Jersey held on June 28, 2015 at the Horse Park of NJ. The ride featured both 25 and 50-mile scenic routes, & began and ended at the Horse Park in Allentown, NJ. This ride truly was a unique, upscale event offering accoutrements that are atypical of other local cycling events. We like to describe it as a "gala" on wheels.

Our 2015 ride would not have been possible without the support of our amazing, selfless volunteers and committee members. A BIG thank you for all of their help!

There were also many generous and community minded businesses behind us. Without the generous financial support of these businesses, and individual fundraisers, the 2015 Black Tie Tour would not have been successful. Their contributions - through sponsorships, gifts in-kind, donations, and registrations enable us to make a check for $36,355 to RWJ Hamilton Foundation; an increase of 6x our 2014 donation!!

The funds we will raise in 2016 will continue to benefit families fighting cancer in our area as we contribute to one of our local cancer centers. 2016 event details to be posted soon.

We hope you will join us in 2016 as a rider, volunteer, and/or sponsor as we aim to "Uplift Hopes Using Our Spokes."
