PAGE 4 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, JULY 17,2002 Ride helps raise funds for CAS BY JEREMY LEPAGE Staff Writer DURHAM - Thousands of dollars for charity can be raised on just two wheels. Motorcyclists participating in the Gappy Ride, also known as the Ride For Kids, are setting their wheels in motion for the 10th anniversary ride. A Durham contingent, meeting at Country Style Donuts, Hwy. 12 and 7A, Manchester, will ride to the Grand River Powwow, Saturday, July 27, at 9 a.m. Every dollar raised, says regional organizer Bob Brozina, will go directly directly to the Durham Children's Aid Society. An honorary past president of the CAS, Mr. Brozina says the Ride "exists to promote awareness of the problems of child abuse." Although motorcyclists all over Ontario take part in the Ride, every penny is directed to charities in the area where the money is raised. The Children's Aid Society, explains explains Mr. Brozina, helps youngsters in ways the government can't, due to over-stretched funds and an increase in kids who need help. "It addresses those situations where children fall between the cracks," he explains. Although government government funding has increased, he says, the number of children in need at the CAS has risen from under 200 children a decade ago, to over 1,000 this year. "It's a scary situation," he says. "Child abuse is surely a pervasive problem, (and) is so preventable." People have to pay more attention to the causes, he adds, and spend money not just on the crises, but prevention. prevention. Through awareness and education, education, Mr. Brozina says, positive steps can be made to keep families from breaking down. The Cappy Ride is one of those steps, he adds. The ride, which will be scenic and winding, is a good time, Mr. Brozina says. All types of people participate, he explains, and a volunteer police escort leads the way. Registration for the Cappy Ride is $30 per rider, and $15 per passenger. Pledge sheets are available for added contributions. Registration includes refreshments, a dream catcher necklace, necklace, and admission to the powwow. Contact Mr. Brozina, 905-668- 1477 ext. 22, or 905-985-9003, for more information or registration. A Web site for the Ride, www.cap- pyride.com, is also available. The Cappy Ride is an alcohol-free event. IZCCIOZI 1 .* . ' wm. Whitby Mall 905-7!
