Third Annual Ride for Rescue in Oxford County

Saturday, 24 June 2017 at 08:18

Over 100 motorcycle riders will cruise through Oxford County in order to raise funds for the Oxford County Animal Rescue.

The Oxford County Animal Rescue is getting ready for their 3rd annual Ride for Rescue Fundraiser.

Over 100 motorcycle riders are expected to participate in this Sunday's ride. Registration will begin at 9am.

Foster Coordinator Anna Holmes says the riders will follow one of three scenic routes through Oxford County.

"The riders follow a mapped course. It's a poker run so they collect poker cards as they go along and they leave our office at 885 Nellis Street (Woodstock) at 10am."

All of the motorcycles should end up at the Moose Lodge at around 1pm. All of the poker cards will be collected afterwards and prizes will be awarded accordingly.

Holmes explains what the event proceeds will go towards.

"Sometimes we need to have extra supplies. Right now we are a little inundated with kittens so kitten food is one of the things on our wish list for this weekend."

The money raised will also help pay for vetting and rehab for their surrendered domestic animals.

It costs $15 for a single driver to sign up and $20 for a driver with a passenger.

If the weather conditions are not favourable the fundraiser will be postponed to Sunday July 2nd. More information can be found on the Ride for Rescue Poker Run Facebook event page.
