18TH ANNUAL RIDE FOR MISSING CHILDREN SYRACUSE
Friday, October 2, 2020
Sports Center 481
The Syracuse Ride for Missing Children is run by a group of local volunteers who believe we can have a positive impact on these numbers. In the latest reported annual numbers, for Onondaga County; 443 children were reported missing and 1,917 were reported as Abused or Mistreated. We are working with the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children of NY (NCMEC/NY) in their mission is to find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent future victimization.
We provide hope to the families of the missing, and funding for their mission efforts improving children’s lives. We deliver our message on an escorted bicycle ride through Onondaga County. Along the way we stop at schools to raise awareness in children about being safe. This year we will interact with over 7,000 children promoting the message of safety.
