Join us on Sunday September 13th for the 7th annual ride to remember
Award winning Canadian country rock artist and 2026 Country Music Alberta Community Spirit Award recipient Devin Cooper proudly presents the 7th Annual Ride To Remember in support of the Alzheimer Society of Calgary.
Since 2019, Ride To Remember has raised more than $195,000 for the Alzheimer Society of Calgary. Last year's event raised $90,000, and this year Cooper has set a goal of raising $100,000 to help fund local programs, education, and support services for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
The cause is deeply personal for Cooper. He has volunteered in a continuing care facility alongside his mother, a registered nurse, since he was seven years old, giving him a firsthand appreciation for the compassion and care provided to seniors and their families. Having also seen several members of his own family affected by Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, Ride To Remember was created to give back to a cause that has had a profound impact on his life.
Held at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, the evening features an intimate Nashville-style songwriter round, where four of Canada's most respected artists perform acoustically while sharing the stories behind the songs.
This year's lineup includes: Tenille Townes, Jess Moskaluke, Mariya Stokes and Devin Cooper.
Thanks to the generous support of Presenting Sponsor Craig Senyk Initiatives, 100% of ticket sales, silent auction proceeds, and donations will go directly to the Alzheimer Society of Calgary.
Award-winning, Canadian country-rocker, Devin Cooper is proud to announce his highly anticipated sixth annual Ride To Remember charity event presented by Craig Senyk Initiatives, taking place on World Alzheimer’s Day (September 21) at Calgary’s iconic National Music Centre. This year’s edition promises an unforgettable songwriters round, showcasing an evening of intimate acoustic performances from a powerhouse lineup of Alberta talent, which includes Multi-PLATINUM artist Lindsay Ell, 17x CCMA Award winner Carolyn Dawn Johnson, multi-award winning singer-songwriter Mariya Stokes and Ride to Remember founder, Cooper himself.
Since its inception in 2019, Ride To Remember has raised over $100k in support of the Alzheimer Society of Calgary, and this year’s goal is to raise an additional $60k through another incredible night of music and community spirit.
On Saturday June 29th Cooper has raised over $50,000 for the Alzhimer Society of Calgary with an amazing $40,000 being raised at the 4th Annual event last February.

2ND ANNUAL ride to remembeR RECAP: 2020
In 2019, Country Artist Devin Cooper launched a charity event, motorcycle ride, and concert called "Ride To Remember" in support of the Alzheimers Society of Calgary. The event took place at Ill-Fated Kustoms Motorcycle Shop on September 15th, and raised over $1500 to go towards programs that the Alzheimers Society of Calgary creates to help those who are dealing with Alzheimers disease.
Devin began volunteering for Alberta Health Services when he was only 7 years old, and immediately saw the positive impact that music had on patients with Alzheimers disease. He continues to perform at various continuing care facilities to this day for patients.
Fast forward to 2020. With a year full of uncertainty, Devin was bound and determined to still make Ride To Remember happen, and is now incredibly excited to announce the 2nd Annual Ride To Remember.
Due to the current restrictions put in place by the Alberta Government and AHS for COVID-19, on December 10th, Devin will be hosting a live VIRTUAL songwriter round from the back of Ill-Fated Kustoms Motorcycle shop in Calgary, where it will be live streamed to both Facebook and YouTube for you to watch. The songwriter round will feature Devin Cooper, Mariya Stokes and SPECIAL GUESTS....
