Blue Circle is pleased to be a sponsor of the Calgary Motorcycle Ride For Dad, but on the flip side are a big group of people who really make things happen. it should be known that something as big and as successful as this year's Calgary motorcycle Ride For Dad would never take place or run as smoothly except for a core of dedicated volunteers who have worked hard all year long to get things organized, not to mention a whole lot of others who stepped up on the day of the ride to pitch in where needed. I just got word that the unofficial tally for the day was 561 riders who, along with the sponsorships, raised over $165,000.00 for awareness and research of prostate cancer. Way to go calgary, and way to go volunteers!!
