Group riders head for the trail at the St. Jude benefit Sept. 29. Shown on horseback are Taylor West, April West, Sue Henson, Verneva Henson, Samantha Baker, Nicole Jennings, Desmond Fox, Mackenzie Henson, Michele Freshour and Taryn Fortenberry.
The $650 raised by the club will supply a St. Jude child oxygen for a day.
Due to the rainy weather conditions, turnout was less than anticipated this year, but cowboys and cowgirls of all ages, still came out for a day of fun on the trails and to support a great cause.
Fundraising efforts for the evening were concluded with a large raffle drawing which included prize items such as hand-made blankets and throws, gift baskets and other various equine essentials.
The club never stops accepting donations for St. Jude even when fundraising events are complete. Donate today by calling 800-805-5856, or going online at www.stjude.org, click “donate,” or mail a contribution check, payable to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, to the address: St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
