Trailing for Triumph, a 501 (c)3 foundation, dedicates its efforts toward raising funds in support of breast cancer research.
Established in 2005 by a group of horse lovers and concerned residents of northern Michigan, Trailing for Triumph held its first annual weekend riding event at Ranch Rudolf in September 2005 to raise money for this important cause. Riders, sponsors and supporters of breast cancer research succeeded in helping us raising over $10,000 in the first event and enjoyed the companionship of friends and horses at the same time!
At the Third Annual Trailing for Triumph Ride in September 2007 we raised about $15,000. The 2007 funds were donated toward the purchase of digital mammography equipment at Northern Michigan Regional Hospital, Charlevoix Area Hospital, & Munson Medical Center as well as their breast cancer support groups. Money was also donated to a single woman out of Traverse City recovery from breast cancer struggling with medical bills.All funds are earmarked for breast cancer research and recovery programs.
Find more information on our annual Trailing for Triumph Ride and register to participate. We are always looking for more event sponsors, silent auction contributors and equipment donors. Learn how you can help out.
