Saddle Up LA 2008 AIDS Benefit Horseback Trail Ride and Country BBQ

May 27, 2008

Just a few weeks left to dust off your hat, pull out those old boots and get yourself registered for The Life Group LA's award-winning Third Annual "Saddle Up LA" 2008 AIDS Benefit Horseback Trail Ride and Country BBQ, which will be held Saturday, June 14th in the beautiful and majestic Griffith Park Mountains.  

If you don't have your own horse, not a problem, 75 horses are being made available on a first come first reserved basis. And there are plenty of tickets to the Country BBQ for after the ride.  

Join Saddle Up LA 2008 as they gather together to help those who are either infected or affected by HIV, all the while meeting new people, having good laughs and eating some yummy food.  

This year Sattle Up LA is offering a registration discount when you register two people at one time, and is hosting a wonderful Country BBQ at the Pickwick Gardens, as well as a silent auction, raffle prizes, karaoke, (with a nice Prize!) and entertainment.  

The purpose of the ride is to raise awareness of the fact that the AIDS Pandemic is not over and to raise much needed funds for the HIV services provided by The Life Group LA. It is also an affirmation of the power of compassion and a demonstration that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things.   

Saddle Up LA 2008 will be another trail ride to remember. It will honor not only those who have died of AIDS but will honor those of us who live on whether infected or affected by HIV.
