OverviewThe BLUE KNIGHTS® is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and retired law enforcement men & women who enjoy riding motorcycles. In 1974, several law enforcement officers from the Bangor, Maine area met and and formed a small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is history.
Soon, Blue Knight chapters were being formed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and beyond. With the addition of Canada, and later Australia, the Blue Knights became an international organization. As of December 31, 2008, we have over 20,000 members in 28 countries. 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. As of 28 February 2009 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of $3,953,252, goods with an estimated value of $603,471.18 and $6,698,687.81 in cash for a total of $11,255,410.99 (USD) We're the good guys!
The Blue Knights is a family fraternity. Spouses and children often accompany our members to the various rides and functions. When travelling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay. We are truly a family. |
