On Saturday, March 10th, 2007 LifeStriders Therapeutic Riding Center hosted its second annual Noche de Tango fundraising event that helps support children, adults and seniors with disabilities. The event was held at Discovery World and catered by the wonderful people at Bartolotta’s. The evening was filled with the romantic sounds of Tangata’s Quartet who performed live while Tango Elixir performed and gave all of the guests a chance to learn the passion of the Argentine Tango.

Thanks to the generous corporate sponsor donations from M&I bank, the Mayer Family Foundation and Electronic Expeditors we were able to raise funds and continue to offer support services for individuals with special needs in our community.

Christopher Pequet and Nicole Neidinger received the annual LifeStriders of the Year Awards that recognizes their amazing personal successes in the program. In addition, 15 volunteers were also recognized for their exceptional contributions to LifeStriders and for earning the nationally recognized Presidential Service Award.

LifeStriders is grateful to all the local businesses and artists that donated items for the silent auction and to all the attendees that helped make the event a total success.
