Eagle River Casino and Travel Plaza - Eris, Julie and Jag, who donated to Fighting Blindness Canada, and provided the campground and building to stage our Registration, Silent Auction, Merchandise Sales, and Camping.
Ramada by Wyndam Whitecourt – for the awesome early bird Fundraiser Draw Prize – a two-night fabulous stay - ride weekend for a lucky Fundraiser.
Carstar Onoway – Dave and Stephanie, who donated to Fighting Blindness Canada and provided the Riders with a fabulous lunch.
Ambipar – Nick, Laura and Dominic, for providing the delicious supper for the Riders and Volunteers.
Uplift – Don Myers, Reena and Belle, who donated to Fighting Blindness Canada and provided the rescue truck and trailer for the Ride. Happy to say it didn’t need to be utilized – and that’s always a good thing.
Jaron Water Hauling – Darren who dated to Fighting Blindness Canada, and donated cases of water for the Riders and Volunteers – they sure needed it on the ride.
