June 2007 Press Release
THE WROAR RIDE
WOMEN RIDE OUT AGAINST RAPE
When? This Sunday! June 10, 2007
Where? Honda Canada 715 Milner Ave. Scarborough, Ontario
WROAR is a women's motorcycle ride to raise awareness about violence against women, and to raise funds for the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape.
The Toronto Rape Crisis Centre has a thirty-three year history of providing 24-hour confidential crisis counseling for survivors of sexual violence, as well as educational programs, and other services, supported by the grass roots fundraising efforts of women like the 'WROAR Riders'. To learn more about the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre / Multicultural Women Against Rape, please visit www.trccmwar.ca
The image of a woman on her motorcycle conveys an impression of freedom, independence and strength that many women value, even those who don't ride. Such an image provides a startling contrast to the loss of control and fear associated with sexual violence.
At this Sunday's ride our goal is to raise $10,000.00!
Our event features Honda demo rides on the new CBR125RR and full-day event with exhibitors, music, yoga, massage, and great prizes for our raffle too!
We invite you, the media, to come out to our event.
Join in the ride if you have a motorcycle, or come out to watch the ride depart at 12:00 or greet the ride as we return sometime around 2:00. If you are available join us for lunch after the ride, please let us know: webmistress@wroar.com
