Since then, several area communities have played host to this annual event. In 2003, when Molly was found, we lost count at approximately 3,000 motorcycles. Due to the number of riders that come out each year (between 500 and 1,000), and the addition of the "Family Fun Day", the ride landed in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Molly?s Ride for Child Safety is one of the largest non-stop police escorted charity motorcycle rides in New England. 100% of the proceeds from this event support the funding necessary to provide child identification kits as well as safety and educational programs for families, schools, community groups and Law Enforcement throughout New England. Because of your continued support, the Molly Bish Foundation is able to continue their efforts. We appreciate everyone who has helped us achieve our goals, and we hope you take the time from your busy schedules to join us on our next ride. www.rideformolly.org About the Molly Bish Foundation Months after Molly disappeared a need for safety in the community was evident, and the first Safety Day (which was held in Sturbridge, MA) was organized and from their kitchen table the; ?Molly Bish Foundation? and ?Life Guards Center? was established to promote child safety, Awareness and Prevention. Molly?s spirit of ?love? gave courage to help them give a voice to all those who were missing and exploited. The Foundation has provided education and awareness for families across the Commonwealth, New England and the Country. Since its inception more than 125, 000 child Identification kits have been provided at no cost to families, along with hundreds of Safety programs.
