6h agoThe Blue Knights, a nonprofit of active and retired law
enforcement officers, are riding their motorcycles from the Jon Bon Jovi
service area to Rockefeller Center today to donate and raise money for
multiple police charities.
The money raised is going toward the families of those who
have died in the line of duty in the NYPD and the New Jersey State Police.
The toys they are bringing with them are being donated to
Toys for Tots.
About 500 bikes will be partaking this year with a full
police escort into Midtown.
"It's really an amazing experience for anybody who is a
motorcyclist," said retired NYPD Sgt. Steven Cataneo. "...It's really
about community...We're all enjoying it. We're all loving it. We're all here
for a great cause."
Cataneo, who represents the 15th chapter of the Blue Knights,
says it is the “largest law enforcement motorcycle club in the
world.”
