The Hamilton 2003 Road Cycling Foundation was established to support long-term development of young road athletes from Junior ranks to road professional teams, and to support national talent identification of young road athletes.

Ross Chafe was a long-serving member of the Hamilton Road Foundation Board and instrumental in obtaining positive investment returns for the Foundation's funds. It was his philosophy that the Foundation should utilize its resources to the full extent possible to support developing riders. Ross and another Whistler Cycling Club rider were killed while riding northwest of Whistler in June of 2015. The Ross Chafe Award has been established to honour the memory of this significant contributor to the development of Canadian road cyclists.
