The Last Ride of Bikers on Parade for the USA took place on Sunday, November 15th, 2009...a 23 mile non-stop police escorted parade through the heart of Gainesville Florida beginning and ending at Santa Fe College. Bikers on Parade for the USA began as a Veterans Day Parade. It was a way for the motorcycle community to show support not only for our Veterans but also in remembrance of 9-11 to honor our Law Enforcement and Fire Rescue Personnel. Over 1000 motorcycles participated in that first parade. An event that was supposed to be for one day turned into an annual event that far exceeded our expectations. Because of the overwhelming response and participation from the bikers, sponsors, volunteers and the community over the last 9 events, Bikers on Parade for the USA raised over $510,000 to support our causes; the North Central Florida Chapter of the American Red Cross and local Veteran Organizations. With the continued growth of the event, it became more than a full time job. While we have been deeply honored by the overwhelming support to show appreciation for the men and women who put their lives on the line for our safety, freedom and for our future it was time for...The Last Ride. God Bless America, Freedom isn't Free! Love to you, Ralph and Bonnie Cameron, Founders/Organizers

MISSION: Bikers on Parade for the USA™ will honor our military, veterans, law enforcement, firefighters and rescue personnel in remembrance of 9/11 with an annual motorcycle parade.
