Welcome, my name is Ron "Ronnie C" Catronio. Thanks for riding in. Please take a moment to visit our online events calendar and our photo gallery for the latest pictures and a complete listing of local events. In 2003 I considered forming an organization whose purposes would be riding motorcycles and helping children less fortunate in our South Florida communities. I contacted two of my long-time biker buddies, Stuart Hyden and *Christoph Matti (*now residing in Majorca, Spain) and they, along with me founded The Big Bike Riders Association of FL. Inc. Since that time B.B.R.A. has matured into an organization that is a "Cause for Kids". Now in our 6th year we have gained positive notoriety far beyond what we could have ever expected. As we embark on the next phase of our growth and the birth of “The Big Bike Riders Children's Foundation" in July of 2009, we look to the future with great anticipation and the hope that we can serve children far better than we ever have with our newly acquired 501 (C) (3) status.

Stuart and I will oversee the Big Bike Riders Children's Foundation of FL Inc. (BBRCF) and oversee the operation of all chapters of B.B.R.A.
Our expectations are to form additional chapters throughout Florida and the Nation. If you are interested in starting a chapter speak to us and we’ll assist in getting you started. Stuart and I will be responsible for B.B.R.C.F. and 501 (C) (3) foundation fund-raising events. The chapter(s) will be responsible for all local fund raising, rides, events and other locally based activities.

You can contact a local chapter officer at their email address on this site. Feel free to contact Stuart or me any time at info@bbrafla.com. Our goal is to make B.B.R.C.F. a highly regarded children's charity with rides, events, and activities that will benefit kids in the communities we serve. Each year will have two primary B.B.R.C.F. events: the 3rd Sunday in March and the annual SMILES Charity Ride 4 Kids and in October the annual party for a cause. Please attend both.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the ride.

All My Best,

Ronnie C
Chairman/Executive Director-BBRA & BBRCF
