Caboolture is preparing to rev its engines to support the eighth annual Ride for Red, a charity motorcycle ride.
On Saturday, 5 October 2024, the event will begin with a briefing at 8:30 a.m. at the BP Caboolture Northbound truck stop car park and aim to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
The Ride for Red is a well-established tradition in the area, known for drawing significant community support. This year’s ride is organised with Cancer Council Queensland, with all proceeds going to cancer research. Since its inception in 2016, the Gronks Social Riders Club, which founded the event, has raised nearly $60,000 for this vital cause.
Participants are encouraged to wear red, a symbol of solidarity against domestic violence. The ride will include several stops, offering opportunities for community engagement, raffles, and learning more about domestic violence prevention and support services.
First Stop: Kilcoy Yowie Park at 10:00 AM for a raffle.
Second Stop: Dag Hotel, D’Aguilar at noon for lunch and another raffle.
Final Stop: Bribie Hotel for dinner, raffles, and auctions. Participants are invited to stay overnight.
At the last stop, BBW Boat Hire Bribie Island and Bribie Hotel will donate prizes for a sizable raffle.
For further details about the event or to register, contact Blakey at 0407 570 651. The Ride for Red promises a day of community, compassion, and crucial fundraising for cancer research.
