TOBMA presents the First Annual Fundraiser for the Bicycle Messenger Emergency Fund (BMEF)!
Toronto messengers show their appreciation! In recent years a number of Toronto bike messengers injured on the job were assisted by the BMEF. This annual fundraiser is in support and appreciation of the BMEF that it can continue it's mission to help this underpaid workforce when probability hits the fan.
There are a lot of events beginning tonight and continuing through the weekend. Lots of fun stuff, parties prizes and excitement. Instead of listing it all for you here please click through to the event website, it's facebook page and it's beneficiary organization.
