Saddle Up LA & BBQ

The Life Group L.A. presents its Award Winning, 9th Annual "Saddle Up LA." (www.SaddleUpLA.org).  An AIDS Benefit Horseback Trail Ride and Country BBQ which will be held Saturday July 12th in the Beautiful and Majestic Griffith Park Mountains.

If you don't have your own horse, not a problem, 75 horses are being made available on a first come first reserved basis but you do not have to ride, you can come to the BBQ

Registration is open now for those who want to sign up for the event and help raise money.  The goal of this years' event is $100,000. All money raised helps the continuation of The Life Group's work.

The purpose of the ride is to raise awareness of the fact that the AIDS Pandemic is not over and to raise much needed funds for the HIV services provided by The Life Group LA.  It is also an affirmation of the power of compassion and a demonstration that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things.

Founded in 2005, The Life Group LA provides education, empowerment and emotional support to persons infected and affected by HIV/AIDS that they may make informed choices regarding their healthcare and personal well being.

Using a variety of methodologies such as peer support groups and the POZ Life Weekend Seminar, The Life Group LA creates educational and empowering experiences in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment.

Saddle up LA 2014 will be another ride to remember! It will honor not only those who have died of AIDS but will honor those of us who live on whether infected or affected by HIV.
