Super Ride VI - launches a "Quest 4 The Cure"
Equestrian News Release
Super Ride VI: The 2008 United States Equestrian Drill Championship will benefit organizations sponsoring cancer research and support for victims of four all too common forms of the disease: Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Liver Cancer.
The championship will be held June 24 – 28 at the Texas Rose Horse Park, near Canton, Texas (USA).
Proceeds from the event will be donated at a coalition of organizations fighting cancer, including:
· Tough Enough to Wear Pink
· C-3 Colorectal Cancer Coalition
· YES
The United States Equestrian Drill Championship brings together mounted color guard and drill teams from throughout the United States. The 'Super Ride' is the showcase event of the United States Equestrian Drill Association and its sister organization the United States Equestrian Drill Competition – a registered charity.
Quest 4 the Cure is an opportunity for the Ghostriders Equestrian Drill Teams to show our support for these 4 cancer organizations. They desperately need funds for research for treatments and, especially, a cure! Please join us in this endeavor and we would like to encourage other drill teams to join us as well. These cancers are all too prevalent in today's world. Let's work together to help find that cure!

Equestrians throughout the United States have a proud and dedicated history of helping others in need. For instance the ongoing "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" cancer research campaign was started in the rodeo arena, and now stretches into many corners of society, and equestrians have been a big supporter of Saint Jude's Children's Hospital research foundation for many, many years. It is fitting that USEDC carries on those traditions by creating "Quest 4 the Cure" to support four worthy causes. I am confident that drill teams throughout the US will want to lend their support to "Quest 4 the Cure".
