Team Triumph (a bunch of bikers, obviously) is having a BBQ bash to raise money for "Rip's B.A.D. Ride 2011" (Bikers Against Diabetes), to benefit the American Diabetes Association.  

The barbecue will be held Sat., April 16, from 3-7 PM at 75 South Oak St., in Pasadena.  Adult presale tickets are $20 by April 3, $25 after (children under 12 $10).  You get a beef short rib or chicken plate, grilled veggies, brown rice, garden salad, and desert, bottled water and homemade ice tea, or beer and wine.

There'll be a live band, raffle drawings for prizes, and a silent auction.  Cash only please, altho' checks are OK for the silent auction items.  All proceeds go directly to the 2011 Rip's B.A.D. Ride campaign, committed to strengthening the fundraising efforts of the American Diabetes Association.  For presale tickets, call Anne Bosi at 626-798-1527.
