Big Rigs Big Hearts is a Not for Profit Organization located in Winkler, Manitoba. Bringing the local trucking community together while raising funds and awareness for local families and friends in need.
It all started in 2013 by two of our current board members, Peter Wall and Abraham Sawatzky. With very little planing thy organizing a Big Rig gathering to raise funds for a local family in need. There was a significant amount of funds raised. The event was really well accepted by all that attended. 15 Rigs showed up for the event. It ended by the very first Big Rig Convoy through the streets of Winkler.
In 2014 we had a truck rally at the TSC parking lot in Winkler, MB with 51 Semi Trucks showing their trucks off and finishing the event with a Truck Convoy going through the streets of Winkler. We were able to raise over $5,000 for the Donate Love organization. This year, we want to go bigger and better!
On July 18,2015 at the now annual BRBH truck rally we had an overwhelming number of 105 Rigs, including the City of Winklers Fire Truck. The convoy was amazing, and also had great live entertainment the Band Jake Brakes to end the event. We were able to raise $6,000 for Katie Cares Cabin Foundation, and $6,000 to a Local Family’s 4 year old child that was in desperate need of surgery in Mexico. We are so grateful for all that participated financially and through volunteer help.
