Editor:

Many, many, many thanks to each of you on behalf of the Rileigh and Raylee Angel Ride Foundation for the overwhelming support given to the 2007 Angel Ride and Concert. All of you should be proud of the part you have played or will play in the lives of our special angels forever.

This Foundation owes a debt of gratitude to:

Our Grand Sponsors: Pilot Catastrophe, the Curtis Pilot Family, Ms. Lynn Wilkins, Dr. Barry Booth, Mossy Oaks Inc./Logan Land Co., The Mapp Family Foundation, Classic Pools & Patio Center, Daphne Mazda, Simmons Mineral Trust, Holcim (U.S.) Inc., Citizen’s Bank and Urban Property;

Our Major Sponsors: the 140 table sponsors, the 3,000-plus bikers from all over the United States, the 250-plus volunteers, the 25-plus vendors, the 200-plus silent auction contributors, the 110-plus campers, the news media and the many spectators who made it happen.

A special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Pee Wee Little and the Little family of Oak Hollow Farms for the many hours they dedicate each year to this event.

Thanks also to the municipalities of Daphne, Fairhope, Magnolia Springs, Foley, Summerdale, Robertsdale and Silverhill for all their support; to all the law enforcement personnel including the Mobile Mounted Police, the Mobile Motorcycle Escorts, the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Department and the Fairhope Police Department for their dedication to our cause; and to the Barnwell Fire Department along with Sunbelt Fire for their contributions to this event.

The Rileigh and Raylee Angel Ride Foundation was founded in 2001 to assist families who have special needs children. To date we have helped over 500 families with needs such as travel and food expenses incurred while children are going through treatment, equipment required by families to make things easier at home, medical expenses and pharmaceuticals.

The Angel Ride is our major fund-raiser for the year, and we depend on you to help us make the necessary dollars that are essential to fund the many eligible applicants during the year. If you know of a family that needs our assistance please do not hesitate to go to our Web site www.angel-ride.com, or call 626-2653 for an application.

This note of gratitude cannot be completed until I personally thank the board of directors and the beneficiary board for their unlimited time and man-hours donated throughout the year funding the families, organizing this event and promoting the foundation.
