Fifth Annual 'Ride For Ronnie' Motorcycle Ride, Concert Set For May 5th

'Ride For Ronnie'

The fifth annual RIDE FOR RONNIE Motorcycle Ride and Concert will take place on SUNDAY, MAY 5th, benefiting the RONNIE JAMES DIO STAND UP AND SHOUT CANCER FUND.  Comprising a motorcycle ride originating at HARLEY-DAVIDSON of GLENDALE, CA, and culminating with a concert at LOS ENCINOS PARK in ENCINO, CA, the RIDE FOR RONNIE will raise awareness and funds for cancer prevention and research for a cure. 

The concert will once again be hosted by radio and television personality EDDIE TRUNK, who is also curating EDDIE TRUNK'S ALL STAR BAND  – a group of rock musicians selected to headline the afternoon of live music.  Last year's RIDE brought in over $50,000 for the DIO CANCER FUND. 

Riders will assemble for a continental breakfast at HARLEY-DAVIDSON of GLENDALE with kickstands up at 11a (PT). The RIDE will take them around the northern edge of the SAN FERNANDO VALLEY to LOS ENCINOS PARK, where they will be treated to music, a raffle, silent and live auctions, food trucks and much more. 

Kicking off the afternoon of live music at the park will be the popular DIO cover band DIA. They will be followed by L.A. rock band BUDDERSIDE, PETTY CASH, presenting the music of TOM PETTY and JOHNNY CASH and rock band DC4. Participants in EDDIE TRUNK'S ALL STAR BAND will be announced shortly.

As always, a silent auction booth will have many rare 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. 

Sponsors lending their continued support to the RIDE FOR RONNIE include HARLEY DAVIDSON of GLENDALE, LAW TIGERS, ARCHIE'S ICE CREAM and L.A. rock radio station KLOS. 

Beer, wine, soda and water will be available for sale, as well as  food from various food trucks including SLAMMIN' SLIDERS (now featuring NATHAN'S HOT DOGS), G'S TACO SPOT and the GRILLED CHEESE TRUCK.
