Krenzen Auto Mall Supports the Cody Buus Invitational Courage Ride
This annual snowmobile fundraising event brings people together to honor Cody Buus and support the Northern Lights Foundation, a Duluth nonprofit that provides financial assistance to families with children facing life-threatening illnesses. We're excited to play a part in carrying this important mission forward.
A Ride With a Meaningful Purpose
The Cody Buus Invitational Courage Ride celebrates the life and generosity of Cody Buus, whose desire to help others continues to inspire the Northland. After Cody lost his battle with cancer, friends and supporters helped transform his spirit of giving into an enduring community tradition.
Today, the event unites snowmobile riders, volunteers, local businesses, and donors around a shared goal: helping families navigate extraordinarily difficult circumstances. The Northern Lights Foundation uses funds raised through community support to assist eligible families, giving them one less financial concern during an already challenging time.
For participants, the Courage Ride is an opportunity to enjoy Northern Minnesota's winter landscape while making every mile count.
An Exciting Vehicle Giveaway From Krenzen Auto Mall
This year, Krenzen Auto Mall is taking its sponsorship a step further by donating the 2027 Nissan Rogue to be given away in connection with the event. We're thrilled to add some extra excitement to the fundraising efforts and give supporters another reason to get involved.
A vehicle giveaway is a fun opportunity, but the purpose behind it matters most. Every contribution and act of participation helps bring attention to the Courage Ride and its mission of assisting families throughout our region.
Details about the giveaway, including entry requirements and the drawing, should be confirmed through the event organizers. Visit courageride.net for the latest official information. Raffle tickets will be available at either dealership’s front desk for $20 each.
Join the Courage Ride Community
The next Cody Buus Invitational Courage Ride is scheduled for February 18–20, 2027. The event brings snowmobilers together for riding, camaraderie, and fundraising across Northern Minnesota.
You don't have to be a rider to support the cause. Community members can explore opportunities to donate, volunteer, help spread awareness, or participate in event activities. Every effort strengthens the network of people working to help children and their families.
The event's continued success reflects the generosity of supporters who return year after year, along with new participants inspired by Cody's story.
