20^th ANNIVERSARY CAPPY RIDE

Child Abuse Prevention and Protection of Youth

In the Fight to Stop Child Abuse

The CAPPY Ride against child abuse is one of the most popular motorcycle rides in the area and supports the important work of the Community Child Abuse Council of Canada.

1 in 3 girls and 1 and 5 boys are sexually abused. It's happening in our own backyards but too often remains silent and hidden while so many children of all ages, from infancy through adolescence, suffer this trauma. Child sexual abuse is an ugly and heinous crime. It can be life eroding. It can kill. But together we can make a difference. Together we can help stop child abuse. And that's why we ride!

The CAPPY Ride combines the joys of motorcycling with the strength of community engagement to support child abuse prevention, education and treatment. We're in it because we believe children have a basic human right to be protected from sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and other forms of maltreatment – and we all have a responsibility to help ensure that.

With the ongoing and super support of the Burlington Southern Cruisers Riding Club, we offer a well organized, safe, fun, police escorted ride which is planned along a scenic route; great food, great fun, prizes, event T-shirt, live entertainment and more.

ll proceeds from the Ride support the important work of the Community Child Abuse Council of Canada in child abuse prevention, education, and specialized treatment for child and youth victims of sexual abuse and children with sexual behaviour problems. Established in 1976, the Council is a federally incorporated charity and a highly reputable organization committed to excellence in service.
