Ride Like an Animal - The Last Ride

Description

We are holding our FINAL Ride Like an Animal fundraiser, ending a 17-year stretch! 

The Ride is a beloved event that features a motorcycle ride that begins at the Thomas J O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center in the morning with breakfast, music, speakers, etc. then ends at the Ludlow Elks for a fantastic after party!
