Welcome to Brotherhood Ride

In 2007, a group of North Naples Firefighters wanted to honor nine members of the Charleston, South Carolina fire Department that perished in the line of duty on June 18, 2007.

Their desire to help the families of these brave professionals resulted in the creation of the Brotherhood Ride. The Brotherhood Ride consist of firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel riding bicycles from North Naples, Florida to Charleston, South Carolina to offer financial and emotional support to the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The Brotherhood Ride will consist of a 9-day, nearly 600 mile journey with each day of the ride dedicated to one of the Charleston Firefighters. Upon our arrival in Charleston, South Carolina, all proceeds donated will be presented to the families of the families of the Charleston 9.
