The Ride High ‘Enchanted’ Fundraising Ball took place last Saturday and was a magical success enjoyed by over 290 guests. The annual event, now in its 8th year was sponsored by Milton Keynes-based firms, RSM UK, Sysmex UK and Imagine Presentations. The total raised will fund 27 children to attend Ride High for one year quite possibly a year that will change their lives forever.
Magician David Penn amazed guests with his world class illusions and international band iPopprovided the entertainment. But it was the Ride High children that made it a truly magical evening. A current member of Ride High, Louise Steen took to the stage and spoke confidentially about her experience at Ride High and how it has changed her life. Louise concluded her speech by reading her own poem (The Ride High Effect) and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
Rachel Medill ran the live auction and pledge on the night said “We had an extraordinary evening and I would like to thank everyone who was involved: our sponsors, our 25 brilliant volunteers, all our guests and most importantly our children who were simply wonderful and the best testament to our work”.
