Cape Coral shows it cares this month

Cyclists and others will have a chance to show that they ‘C.A.R.E’ in Cape Coral.

C.A.R.E.S. Suicide Prevention will be hosting a C.A.R.E.S. for Heroes appreciation event and the Cape Coral Bullyride in a couple of weeks. The goal of the events is to raise awareness about bullying among kids and teens, and to raise awareness about PTSD among first responders, veterans, and active duty military personnel.

According to Thomas MacKenn, a C.A.R.E.S. Prevention board member and the chairperson for the event, the aim of the day is to build community awareness and raise money, as well as to enlist local volunteerism.

Organizers that are putting together events to raise money or awareness for a particular cause can use Mailing services to connect with past donors.

The C.A.R.E.S. event will kick off with a motorcycle rally ride, which start at the German American Club at 9:15 am. The route travels along Pine Island Road to North Fort Myers, then to Fort Myers and back to Cape Coral. The cost to participate is $15 per rider and $5 for passengers.

After the ride, there will be a celebration at the Dixie Roadhouse, at Southeast 47th Terrace, from 12:00 noon until 6:00 pm on Sunday, September 17. The day will kick off with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at 7:00 am.
