Ride for Dog Guides
Join Lions Foundation of Canada, for our 3rd annual "Ride for Dog Guides", a national fundraising event specially catered to Motorcyclists. Ride for Dog Guides was first started in 2009 by the Saltwater Retreads and the Enfield/Elmsdale Lions Clubs in Nova Scotia. Now offered in more communities and growing each year, proceeds from all locations go to support the Dog Guide programs at Lions Foundation of Canada.
Though each Ride for Dog Guides varies in what activities are involved, most follow a scenic pre-arranged route and offer refreshments, incentives and prizes and often include a Poker Run component. Thank you to everyone who participated in previous years by collecting pledges, making a donation, or just coming out in support of the Ride for Dog Guides. Please join us at one of the locations for 2012. To download event information please choose:
