Thank you to the many Supporters that donated to Fighting Blindness Canada through our Ride for Sight Riders and Friends, without you we wouldn’t have a reason to celebrate.

 

Thank you to area businesses who made donations to Fighting Blindness through our Top Fundraiser and graciously supplied valuable items for the Silent Auction.

Thank You

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.
