Benefits of Knighthood
It is difficult stating what makes the Blue KnightsŪ so special.
Perhaps the following will help explain the kinds of feelings that flow when a bunch of motorcycle-riding police officers get together.
Knighthood is:
* Enjoying the company of different people who share not only the common bond of a career in law enforcement, but also a love of motorcycles.
* Being able to visit your friends in any of our member countries and be treated like family.
* Receiving get-well cards from people you've never met.
* Riding with the Ladies of the Knights and Little Knights who give that added family touch.
* Going to handicapped children's camps, giving the kids rides and seeing the smiles on their faces.
* Various fund-raising activities for those less fortunate.
Being a Blue Knight is all this and much, much more.
Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities. Especially near to our hearts is helping children. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots, D.A.R.E., and Concerns of Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites. Here
in Nova Scotia, we provide support to LORDA, the IWK and Ronald McDoanld House.
As of Feb 2011 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of $5,092,292.00, goods with an estimated value of $631,217.24 and $7,921,532.87 in cash for a total of $13,645,042.11 (USD)
There are no strangers in the Blue Knights, only friends you haven't met.
