Benevilla is thankful to the members of the Sun City West Witches Ride for choosing them as the recipient of donations raised at their Oct. 27 annual Halloween themed event.
More than $11,000 was raised by the event to support the numerous services and resources Benevilla offers to the community.
While supporting a local charity remains the primary focus of the celebration, the Witches Ride is a fun filled event for the Sun City West women who support the cause. Riders decorate their bikes and golf cars and dress in full witch regalia, including brooms and hats. They assemble in the parking lot of the Beardsley Recreation Center and after the 5-mile parade ride through the community, the witches commune in the park for a bring-your-own-everything picnic. The festivities include live music, the infamous witches dance and a conga line.
“Working with and on behalf of Benevilla is a wonderful opportunity to combine an awesome community event with a very deserving service organization,” stated head witch and event coordinator Anna Gorman.
Planning is already in motion for the 2023 event. Follow the Witches Ride on their Facebook group, SCW Witches Ride 2022, or email scwwitchesride@gmail.com.
