| The BLUE KNIGHTS®
is a non-profit fraternal organization consisting of active and
retired law enforcement men & women who enjoy riding motorcycles.
In the Spring of 1974, several law
enforcement officers* from the Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and
formed a small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is
history. *Our Founding Fathers are: Joel Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Minor, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck Shuman As of September 2002, we have over 15,000 members in 450 chapters in 20 countries! According to the By-Laws, our purposes and goals are to: 1. Provide for the mutual assistance,
enjoyment, entertainment, education, physical, mental and
social benefit of its members and the general public. Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for various charities. Especially near to our hearts is helping children. Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots, D.A.R.E., and Concerns of Police Survivors are some examples of our favorites. From September 1, 1991 to September 1, 2002 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of 139,847.5 hours, goods with an estimated value of $495,613.91 and $3,281,648.06 in cash (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 traveling, local members can provide assistance, directions and sometimes a place to stay. We are truly a family. Among the Blue Knight
