November 17 is Stand Up to Bullying Day - and it's a "major holiday" for BRP's "Ride Out Intimidation" initiative. BRP is celebrating the second annual Yellow Day initiative! They are proud to be celebrating International Stand Up to Bullying day and are calling us to help spread the word! However, since November 17th is a Friday, US Spyder Ryders Central Florida Chapter will celebrate this “holiday” on Sunday, November 12th.

As part of BRP’s Ride Out Intimidation program we join them to stand up to bullies in an effort to denounce intimidation on and off the road. This is a community call-to-action. 

HOW CAN WE HELP?

• Wear Yellow – that’s the big thing for this day

• Post photos and videos on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn

• Use Tags and Hashtags: @canamonroad and #RideOutIntimidation when posting.

For every post and engagement BRP will donate $10 to anti-intimidation charities across all of its business regions!
