During a span of nearly 30 years, the Bruce Rossmeyer Ride For Children has raised $7 million dollars to help children with serious medical illnesses attend Camp Boggy Creek. This year marks the final Ride with Bruce’s name and legacy attached to it.

On Sunday, Oct. 6, motorcycle riders from all over Central Florida will ride, with a police escort, from Teddy Morse’s Destination Daytona to the tranquil Camp Boggy Creek in Eustis. Once they arrive at camp, riders will be welcomed with live music, some amazing Grand Marshals including Kyle Petty and Rusty Wallace, a delicious meal, and chances to win prizes. The Ride For Children helps raise funds that send children with serious medical conditions to Camp for a life-changing experience.

Camp Boggy Creek President and CEO Dan Jurman is beyond excited for the upcoming ride.

 “Bruce Rossmeyer had a passion for Camp Boggy Creek and would often say 'It’s all about the kids,'" Jurman saidl "The Rossmeyer family have been so instrumental in helping us provide camp experiences for the children who deserve it and need it the most, I’m beyond grateful for everything that they’ve done for the children.”

Participants can sign up for the ride and create a fundraising team at http://rideforchildren.com.
