Hello and welcome, my name is Ron "Ronnie C" Catronio. Welcome to our interactive association web site. Please visit our online events calendar and our photo gallery. In early 2003 I thought about forming an organization whose sole purposes would be riding motorcycles and helping children less fortunate in our South Florida communities. I contacted two of my long-time biker buddies, Stuart Hyden and *Christoph Matti (*now residing in Majorca, Spain) and they along with me founded The Big Bike Riders Association of FL. Inc.

Since that time B.B.R.A. has gone through a huge growth phase. In less than three years we have gained notoriety far beyond what we could have ever expected. As we embark on a new phase of our growth and begin the formation of "Big Bike Riders Children's Foundation" we turn day-to-day local chapter operations over to some very capable and dedicated members

Broward Chapter:

• Rick Morales, President

• Marty Fetner, Vice-President

• Bernie Weiss, Head Road Captain

• Doc "Ed" Szerlip, Secretary

Palm Beach Chapter:

• Lee Gianinio, President

Dade Chapter:

• William Santisteban-President

• Jason Yaeger- Vice President

• Michael Calandra- Chancellor

• Dr. John Gregory, Safety Officer

• Sarah Santisteban- Secretary

• John Rice- Sgt at Arms

• Eric Kilman- Road Captain

BBRA National Team:

• Kristi Ward-Treasurer

• Director of Fund Raising - Bill George

This fine team of great folks, along with a great board will provide the organizational leadership in 2008. Please contact any chapter officer or director for more information.

Stuart and I will oversee the Big Bike Riders Children's Foundation (BBRCF) and other regional chapters of B.B.R.A.

Currently B.B.R.A. has a chapter in Broward County-South Florida. Our expectations are to form additional chapters throughout Florida and the Nation. Stuart and I will be responsible for National Association and foundation fund-raising events and other events that are National in scope. The chapter(s) will be responsible for all local fund raising, rides, events and other locally based activities.

You'll find a local chapter officer at their email address on our site. Feel free to contact Stuart or me any time at info@bbrafla.com. Our goal is to make B.B.R.A.
a national brand with rides and events that will benefit kids in every state. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the ride.

All My Best,
Ronnie C
