The Ride For Ronnie will raise awareness and funds for cancer prevention and research for a cure. Participating motorcyclists will ride from Harley-Davidson of Glendale to Los Encinos Park in Encino for the afternoon concert. Last year’s Ride raised over $40,000 for the Dio Cancer Fund.

Riders taking part in the Ride For Ronnie will assemble for a continental breakfast at Harley-Davidson of Glendale with kickstands up at 11:00 am. The Ride will take them around the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley to Los Encinos Park in Encino for an afternoon of live music, raffle, live auctions, food trucks and much more. A silent auction booth will have many items available to bid on throughout the afternoon, while live auctions, featuring one-of-a-kind rock collectibles, will be held from the stage between artist performances.

Beer, wine, sodas, and water will be available for sale, as well as delicious foods from food trucks including Slammin’ Sliders, G’s Taco Spot and the Grilled Cheese Truck.
