| The
Goldfield Ghost Riders were established in 1995 in Apache Junction,
Arizona, as a non-profit organization, dedicated to preserving the Western
Lifestyle and conducting charitable activities to help support local children's
charities.
In 1996, the
Goldfield Ghost Riders developed the Adopt-A-Desert program and received
the Governors Award from the Arizona Clean and Beautiful
Organization.
The Goldfield
Ghost Riders host several annual events for riders and non-riders to
raise money for local children charities. These events include the St. Patrick's
Day event; poker rides; gymkhanas; bowling; softball games; horseshoe games;
raffles; golf tournaments; picnics; trips; and specialty rides (i.e. AZ Adventure
Ride, Ladies Ride).
Other non-charity
activities of the Goldfield Ghost Riders include participation in
parades, picnics, steak rides, horse clinics, education, and
workshops.
Each year at the
Ben Johnson Days, which is the Goldfield Ghost Riders' largest event,
a new horse trailer is raffled off.
Over the years,
the Goldfield Ghost Riders have been able to donate in excess of
$150,000.00 to charities. Some of these charities include various children's
charities.
