2008 Ride for Sight Event Details

Ride for Sight - Alberta 2008 takes place June 13, 14 & 15, 2008 in Olds, Alberta at the Agricultural Centre Fairgrounds.

Under the newly elected leadsership of Chuck Holmstrom who was formerly Assistant Chair of Alberta Ride for Sight and the continued support from now Past Chair and Advisor Bonny Lackey and newly elected Assistant Chair Cam Cowieson and our long time Treasurer Marj Nordin and handfuls of other returning volunteers, you will enjoy a weekend of festivities at the 2008 Ride for Sight.

This is a rewarding weekend filled with first class entertainment. Details will be announced upon confirmation and are subject to change.

There will be other motorcycle related events such as a Show n Shine, bike games, observation run and a motorcycle parade through the town of Olds.

Various food vendors will be at the Agricultural Centre Fairgrounds and tickets will be on sale for the purchase of a hearty beef dinner. This facility is a licensed establishment.

Free on-site camping (no services) is available for fundraising participants.

Ride for Sight is made possible thanks to the generous support of hundreds of volunteers across Canada who donate hundreds of hours of their time to organizing the event and help in raising sponsorship money.

Please sign up to volunteer. We need your help especially in the areas of security and host/grounds duties. If you can help or know of someone who can help, please contact us. We appreciate any assistance that can be offered.

Our goal this year is to raise $150,000.00 for much needed retinal disease research.
