| 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 Bangor, Maine (USA) area met and formed a small, local motorcycle club. The rest, as they say, is history. Soon, Blue Knights 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. *Our founding fathers are: Joel Rudom, Bill Robinson, Doug Miner, Ed Gallant, Mike Hall, Chuck Gesner, Wayne Labree, Chuck ShumanAs of September 2008, we have over 20,000 members in 29 countries! According to the By-Laws, our purposes and goals are to:
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. As of October 2008 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount of 186,013 man hours (@ $20 per hour), goods with an estimated value of $600,455.69 and $6,435,018.36 in cash for a total of $10,755,734.05 (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.
