Red White and Blue Knights

THE CAUSE:

Each year, thousands of children in Toronto do not have a single
present to open on Christmas Day. Through donations raised at this
event, you can bring happiness and hope to a disadvantaged child who
might otherwise be overlooked this Christmas.

We, the men and women of Toronto’s Emergency Services, experience
first-hand and on a daily basis, just how vulnerable and fragile our
children really are – and can see better than most just how desperately
they need our help. This annual Charity Event is our collective way to
bring a little happiness and hope into these kids’ lives.

Our History:

On Sunday September 7th, the Toronto Chapter of the Blue Knight’s International Law
Enforcement Motorcycle Club is, for the 30th year in a row, holding it’s annual charity toy ride in
support of the Salvation Army’s Christmas toy drive for disadvantaged children in Toronto. Our Toy
Ride is the oldest, continually held annual charity event of it’s kind in Canada. Each year, we
collect hundreds of toys and raise thousands of dollars for disadvantaged children of Toronto who,
without our help, might otherwise be overlooked at Christmas. This year, we are also asking for
food donations to help out those in need.

For the first time in our 30-year involvement with this charity event, we are extending our reach
and inviting the general non-riding public to participate in this truly unique experience which
brings together Toronto’s Emergency Services teams for fun, for entertainment and, most
importantly, to raise funds for the kids.

Please join us at Nathan Phillips Square on
Sunday September 7th, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
