Events
PARDS holds fundraising events each year to help fund our programs and operations. Our ultimate goal is to provide our clients with the wonderful benefits of riding regardless of their financial circumstance which is why we provide our services at a nominal fee.
If you or someone you know is interested in being a part of any of our events, whether it be as an individual, business or organization, please contact us at 780-538-3211 for more information.
PARDS 13th Annual Dine and Dance - Saturday, November 20, 2010
PARDS Annual Dine and Dance is the second major annual fundraiser our organization hosts in support of operations, rider sponsorship, facility maintenance, specialized riding equipment and countless other areas.
This is an event you don't want to miss! Ideal for a great night out with friends (whether they are the ones you came with or new ones you meet there), and for your staff Christmas party. The evening includes a delicious Buffet Dinner, cash bar, Silent and Live Auctions (treat yourself or get some holiday shopping done or both!), the famous PARDS Plinko game, Ring Box raffle, "13 Bottles of Wine" auction featuring a different PARDS horse on each bottle (but which one is hiding the Grande Prize?), and, of course, music and dancing!
We hope to see you there!
If you are interested in volunteering on the committee or during the event, would like information about event sponsorship opportunities or if you are interested in donating an auction item or door prize, please contact our office.
PARDS 25th Annual Fund Ride - Saturday, June 5, 2010
The Fund Ride is one of PARDS two major annual fundraisers which raise money for operations, rider sponsorship, facility maintenance, specialized riding equipment and much more.
Participants obtain pledge sheets prior to the event and raise money for PARDS. We start the day off with a hearty pancake breakfast, where approximately 150 participants then head out on the trail of their choice.
The horse trail ride is a relaxing 5 or 10 mile pleasure horseback ride for all ages through the rolling sandy trails behind Evergreen Park.
The ATV trail will be held out at the Dunes and is going to be approximately 30 kms of trail through Evergreen Park’s vast forest filled with hilled terrain, marsh to get dirty and wildlife to keep you on your toes!
Don’t have a horse or an ATV? There are enough trails for any participant to choose to walk, bike or what ever gets you going!
After the ride, participants can sit down and relax at our future facility site before the evening BBQ and awards ceremony. The Fund Ride has become a high profile event over the past years thanks to the endless support of our community and the entire Peace Region.
2nd Annual PARDS Extraordinary People (PEP) Games - Saturday, June 5, 2010 (click here)
In conjunction with our Fund Ride, we will be holding our 2nd Annual PEP Games. It was such a hit last year that we knew we had to do it again by making it a regular event to go along with the Fund Ride.
The PEP Games offers a variety of games and activities for all levels of participation held between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. at the site of our future facility, specifically for those participants who are not able to use the trails (although everyone is welcome to participate).
As with the Fund Ride, participants will gather pledges from friends and family in the weeks preceding the event. At the event they will participate in a variety of modified ground games including bean bag toss, hoops and poles, and more!
After the games, participants can sit down and relax, have their face painted or visit with Bertie the Beaver before the evening BBQ and awards ceremony.
