The foundation raises funds through large-scale one-day motorcycle, snowmobile, watercraft and ATV ride events and through ongoing public fundraising year-round. TELUS Ride For Dad events take place in multiple cities in every province.

Funds raised are used to support prostate cancer research and awareness in the communities where those funds were raised, the foundation says.
