The Basics:

Who: The WROAR Ride is open to all; motorcycles, scooters, trikes and riders of all genders
What: A motorcycle poker run ride; participating motorcyclists raise pledges for the TRCC/MWAR
When: Sunday June 12th 2011 - 10 am to 4 pm
Where: Morningside Park, Scarborough Ontario - Morningside Ave. south of Hwy 401 - map
Why? all funds raised go to support the TRCC/MWAR

How does it work?

Individual motorcyclists raise pledges to donate on the day of the ride. You can raise pledges online and/or on paper (PDF pledge form). Riders are asked to PRE-REGISTER for the ride in May.

Our goal for 2011 is to have 150 riders raising $100 each for a total of $15,000.00 - so we'll be giving special rider goodie-bags to all riders who raise $100.00 or more in pledges, and we'll have great prizes for top fundraisers too, including a Technical Rider course from the Rider Training Institute. This year we are encouraging riders to raise even more money by offering bonus points for every additional $10 dollars raised.

Riders who are not able to raise $100 in pledges are still encouraged to participate, no one will be turned away and all donations will be accepted (even Canadian Tire money!)... but if you don't pre-register and raise $100 you might miss out on some great goodie-bag treats and extra prizes.

https://www.canadahelps.org/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fGivingPages%2fManage%2fMyGivingPages.aspx

You'll be asked to create an account with Canada Helps - it's free to set up. You will be asked to give your name, address and e-mail and to select a password.

Once your account is set up you can create a 'Giving Page' to collect sponsorship donations online from your family and friends for the WROAR Ride 2011. It will take about five minutes to follow the steps to set up your giving page and then you can e-mail your friends and family a link to your personalized giving page to start taking ride sponsorship donations online!

You can choose to display your fundraising target, or not, and you can include a photo if you want to. When you're asked to add a charity to your personal giving page, don't look for the WROAR Ride, add the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre / Multicultural Women Against Rape as the charity.

Clubs can follow the same procedure to set up a 'personal' giving page for your club, and members can use it collectively, or individual club members can set up their own giving pages, whichever you prefer.

Before the ride, print out your pledge summary, and bring it to rider registration when you arrive June 12th at the WROAR Ride.
