Who are we?

Blue Tie Ride was founded in 2011 by Raumar Bustamante and Dolly Betancourt who both share a passion for raising funds and awareness for cancer support services and childhood sexual abuse.

To date, Blue Tie Ride has raised $147,000 through various events but most importantly our Blue Tie Ride Motorcycle Charity Poker Run which is held every August.

Mission
