‘Ride for Mom’ event raises $20k

Tofield’s Main Street was lined up with bikers on Saturday, May 12 as more than 200 riders participated in ‘Ride for Mom’ event, now in its second year, raising approximately $20,000.

Their stop of choice was the Moonshine Cafe where participants refreshed and got themselves ready for the ride back to Nisku.

“The response has been unbelievable so far,” said Kevin O’Connor, one of the board members.

The funds raised will be redistributed through the Edmonton Domestic Violence Shelters Engage (EDVSE) to shelters in the Edmonton area that are in need, according to O’Connor.
