The annual Ride for a Child’s Wish in Silver Creek is set for Sunday, May 27.
Registration is from 8 to 9:30 a.m. with the approximately three hour-long ride leaving at 9:30 a.m. This ride is part of a province-wide series, the Provincial Wish Trail Ride benefitting The Children’s Wish Foundation – BC and Yukon chapter.
Horseback riders from throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap are invited to take part in this event and support a great cause. Since its inception, the provincial trail rides across B.C. have raised more than $900,000 to make dreams come true for children diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
At the Silver Creek ride there is a special gift for the rider collecting the most pledges and every $20 in pledges earns a ticket for a draw for an $800 saddle, which can be viewed at Buckerfield’s in Salmon Arm. For each $400 in pledges, riders will receive an entry for a draw for two return airline tickets to Europe.
