Ladies Trail Ride

Las Estrellas Del Valle Announcement – Event Cancelled

To our valued riders, wranglers, committee members, volunteers and vendors:

After careful consideration, we have decided to err on the side of safety and cancel the 2021 LEDV ride scheduled for April 23-25, 2021. This is a very difficult decision, as after a rich thirty-year history, this was to be the final ride and certainly, quite a party.

There is a "Limited Stay Home Order" put in place on November 21, 2020 that states that in counties in the widespread (purple) tier, Californians must stay home between 10:00pm and 5:00am. Non-essential businesses are required to close between the same hours. This Order also restricts gatherings of more than 3 households.

Limiting mixing and movement of individuals from different households is critical in order to stop the transmission of the virus. All activities are higher-risk now in California based on the level of community spread we are currently seeing. By staying home, we are limiting exposure and interrupting the chain of transmission.

Event Registration:

• If you are currently registered for the event, we will begin refunding fees collected. All refunds will be via check. Registration fees may also be converted into fully tax-deductible donations, supporting the impact area of your choice. To donate your fees, please contact sdawes@svmh.com.

• If you would like your commemorative gift sent to you please email sdawes@svmh.com, confirming you would like this option and provide your mailing address. Your registration fees will be refunded minus $50 for the cost of the gift and postage.

Event Prizes and Buckles:

• We will begin a process to auction off the prizes and buckles. We will email registered riders with this information when it becomes available.

Event Store:

• We intend to setup an online store to sell the LEDV store items that have already been purchased. We will keep you posted via email and on social media.

If you have additional questions, please contact the SVMH Foundation Office at (831) 759-1880 and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you for understanding.

We are so thankful for all of the great memories and relationships built over the years, the generous way that every participant cared for their community and the incredible ranch owners and vendors that made this event possible. The event may be gone, but the cause it has supported for so many years, our population’s health, is still very much a community need. We will continue to dream and build, and humbly ask for your continued confidence and support as we evolve into new fundraising activities.

Thank you for everything. Always.

Be well,

Jeff Wardwell
Chief Philanthropy Officer
