This ride is our major fundraising event, and each year more participants help raise money for families and individuals with kids battling cancer. Thanks to 104 riders and their donors, our generous sponsors, individual and business donations, and the work of our tireless volunteers, Blazing Saddles VIII raised over $40,000. For inspiration, check out the Blazing Saddles gallery.
