Ride Through the Rockies is an annual fundraising event in support of Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta. This is the eleventh year that founder Ken Crockett, Vice President of Star Building Materials and a member of BILD Calgary Region, brought together leaders from the home building industry. Forty participants cycled hundreds of kilometres through the Rockies with the goal of raising $300,000 for Habitat for Humanity. Ken began this initiative to combine philanthropy with his passion for cycling.

Since its inception, the Ride has raised $1.3 million for Habitat for Humanity. The funds raised support affordable homeownership opportunities across Southern Alberta. Last year, Habitat delivered more than $10 million in affordable housing, with plans for an additional $24 million underway, including homes in Calgary, Airdrie, and High River.
