The Acevedo Team, Colombia Ride for Shelter 2024

Date: Saturday, May 11, 2024

Location: The Canadian Brewhouse (Spruce Grove)

Come join us for the Colombia Ride for Shelter 2024 Fundraiser at The Canadian Brewhouse in Spruce Grove!! Prime Rib Supper, Silent Auction, Salsa Dancing and Salsa Dancing Lessons.

In July 2024, We will be heading to Colombia for a 9 day mixed terrain adventure, all in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. This is a first for us (2 up on a Dirt Bike). Our fellow riders with Kim and I will journey across beaches, through both thick jungle, mountains and unrelenting desert landscapes. Days will be long for both body and mind and there will be few comforts of home available. While it won’t be easy, we’ll have an epic ride led by professional guides and locals and experience a beautiful culture.

Most importantly of all, we’ll raise thousands of dollars for women and children finding safety, hope and healing after experiencing intimate partner violence. To participate, each rider must raise at least $3,000 in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation which will fund their local Violence Against Women shelter as well as prevention programs across the country aimed at stopping this senseless violence before it starts. Our Goal is to raise $10,000.00 or more for Women's Shelter.

Since June 2023, over 60 Canadian municipalities have declared Intimate Partner Violence an epidemic. While the issue is complex, Royal LePage® professionals understand instinctually that a house is only a home if the people who live there feel safe. With over $46 million raised to date in support of the Royal LePage® Shelter Foundation™, our resolve to end family violence in Canada has never been stronger. I hope you’ll join us in making a difference!
