The Ride Into History charity is in need of more volunteers, or it could be forced to call off this year鈥檚 event, organizers say.

The annual motorcycle gathering has raised funds for local charities for several years, with its annual gathering, dinner, and ride from 91原创 through the Fraser Valley.

Organizers Rod Peacock and Troy Gaglardi said they need at least five to seven people who can commit an hour or so a week for the next few months.

In particular, they need people with local connections to businesses to help them line up sponsors for this year鈥檚 ride, as well as connections to the local hot rod, motorcycle, and classic car communities to encourage vehicle owners to come down to the concert.

鈥淚t鈥檚 just a matter of having that manpower to ensure we do a good job,鈥 said Gaglardi.

This year鈥檚 concert and family event takes place on July 27, followed on July 28 by an all-day motorcycle ride, complete with lunch in the Fraser Valley and a 鈥渨hite tablecloth鈥 dinner back in 91原创.

This year鈥檚 charity recipient is Big Brothers Big Sisters 91原创, said Gaglardi.
