Elvis Stojko, Gladys Orzco & the KATVA Team
What do Elvis Stojko and his beautiful wife Gladys Orzco and the KATVA team have in common? Their love for animals!
It’s that love that has now brought us together to bring awareness and raise money for a great cause called The Kibble Project. Kawartha ATV Association (KATVA) and our sister club Kawartha Off Road Motorcycle Association (KORMA) have teamed up with champion figure skater Elvis Stojko and his lovely wife, professional figure skater and model Gladys Orozco to raise funds for The Kibble Project.
Located in the City of Kawartha Lakes, The Kibble Project collects food and supplies for shelters, foster organizations and pet rescue groups who need their help. This cause has become a personal mission for Gladys with the support of her husband Elvis. Gladys works tirelessly in her spare time collecting the food and supplies to distribute to those who need them to care for all types of animals from cats, rats, and dogs to raccoons. No animal will do without if Gladys has her way.
As an avid off-road vehicle and motorsports enthusiast it only made sense for us to team up with Elvis to hold an off road vehicle event and raise funds for The Kibble Project. Elvis has spent time riding the KATVA trails over the years and has even done a promotional video in the past to promote the KATVA trails. On September 16th Elvis, Gladys and the KATVA team are holding the Kawartha Black Bear Run on the trails north of Fenelon Falls, Ontario. This will be the first time that KATVA has held one event that includes ATVs, SxS and dirt bikes all at the same time and we hope it won’t be the last. Riders will spend the day riding the KATVA and/or KORMA trails in the 5 points trail system and in the Somerville Forest. After the ride they’ll be treated to their choice of a roast beef or barbeque chicken dinner at the Burnt River Community Centre. One lucky participant will take home the door prize of $500 cash and there will be lots of other prizes to be won. Best of all, they will spend the day on the trails with Elvis and get a chance to meet and take photos with Elvis and Gladys throughout the day.
There is no need to own an ATV or dirt bike to participate. The event is open to the general public as well. Anyone can register and join us for dinner and get to spend time with Elvis and Gladys. There will also be a tent set up all afternoon for anyone to come by with their kids and their pets and meet Gladys. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to not only meet a Canadian Legend, but to contribute to a worthy cause. Details can be found at www.katva.ca under rides and events.
