The PVDA Ride for Life Gala Evening

PVDA Ride for Life Gala

Join us Saturday, June 23rd for this wonderful and very special event! All net proceeds from the Gala and the evening’s events will go to support the Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Center, furthering research, treatment, education and the hope of a cure for breast cancer.

Gala guests who buy a ticket will enjoy meeting some of the United States’ top dressage riders while enjoying appetizers, dinner, live music and drinks (and, of course, the Dancing Horse Challenge performance). Watch the Dancing Horse Challenge from your VIP seating, and enjoy a gourmet dinner and dancing after the event. Cocktail attire (or black tie) is encouraged.
