Newsroom Ride for Flights Event a Huge Success for STARS Air Ambulance!

We are beyond excited to share that this year’s Ride for Flights non-profit event raised an astonishing $12,547 in support of STARS Air Ambulance! Thanks to the generosity of our riders, donors, sponsors, and volunteers, we’ve more than doubled last year’s donation total, making an even greater impact on this life-saving organization.

On August 24, 2024, motorcycle enthusiasts came together for a scenic Motorcycle Poker Run through the Kananaskis Valley, riding through the breathtaking Rocky Mountains while punching cards to build a poker hand. The event wasn’t just about the ride—it was about community and community support. We wrapped up the day with a lively barbecue, silent auction, door prizes, and a 50/50 draw, bringing people together for a cause close to our hearts.

The funds raised will help STARS continue providing critical care to patients in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities across Western Canada. Each rescue mission can cost upwards of $7,000, and STARS relies entirely on donations to fund its operations. This means that every dollar raised through events like Ride for Flights directly supports their ability to deliver essential emergency medical services by air.

Your donations help STARS operate their fleet of helicopters, which are equipped as flying intensive care units. They provide life-saving services to patients experiencing trauma, illness, or emergencies in remote areas. From onboard medical teams to advanced equipment, your support ensures that critical care is available when and where it’s needed most.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who supported our cause. By supporting Ride for Flights, you’ve helped save lives and ensured STARS can continue to be there for families in their most urgent moments.
