What is Motors And Music?
Motors And Music launched in 2022 by partnering with HAGERTY and Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Langley campus) to unite live music with vehicle enthusiasts in order to support and give back to charitable organizations, foundations or community driven projects.
In 2024, the event benefitted The Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Ribbon Society’s Memorial Ribbon Scholarship. This was created to offer the children of fallen officers the opportunity to attend a post-secondary school anywhere in Canada. On February 3, 2011, the Society and Memorial Ribbon Scholarship Chair, C. Scott M. Shepherd, attended Parliament Hill to officially announce the launch of the Scholarship. Scott Shepherd’s speech to the guests in attendance explained the Scholarship and put forward a challenge to post-secondary institutions to take up the cause of the Memorial Ribbon The scholarship will pay for tuition and books, (up to $50,000) for courses or programs of study leading to an undergraduate degree or diploma. The scholarship will be administered by the Memorial Ribbon Scholarship Advisory Council which is a working group of like-minded leaders within the community who support the Memorial Ribbon Society and its objectives.
Every $5000 raised helps pay for one tuition!
Rick’s Heart Foundation was excited to be the stage sponsor for this year’s event. The organizer, Jovan, works very hard to make this event successful and to raise awareness for the fallen officer’s families. We look forward to participating again next year.
This year’s Motors and Music event raised $15,000, which will cover three tuition for children of fallen officers!
Congratulations to Jovan and all involved on a successful event.
