Edelstein Goes Riding for Theatre Charities

David’s principal sponsor is Triple E’s US distributor, Rosebrand, and he is the only British member of the team, which comprises dedicated technical theatre professionals who believe strongly in BC/EFA. As an annual event, it is the aim of The Long Beach Long Riders to raise money and awareness for BC/EFA amongst the technical community in theatre. It is also an opportunity for theatre technicians and backstage crew to take centre stage and contribute to this worthy cause.

Founded in 1988, BC/EFA is America’s leading industry based, not for profit, AIDS fundraising and grant making organisation. BC/EFA is the on-going, committed response from the American Theatre community to help an urgent worldwide heath crisis. By drawing on the talents, resources and generosity of the theatre community, BC/EFA has raised over $100 million for people with AIDS, HIV and HIV related illnesses.

The 2005 Long Beach Long Ride commences on June 26th. David and the East Coast team will traverse over 2,500 miles. The route takes him from Washington DC to Hays, Kansas north to Rapid City South Dakota and then on to Denver, Colorado.

Having just completed a week’s intensive training for the ride, David enthused:

“This is a fantastic opportunity for myself and Triple E to put something positive back into our industry. It is also fulfils a lifelong ambition to ride across the States, on a Harley. The training was rigorous, but worthwhile as I believe in Broadway Cares and feel enormously proud to represent Britain’s technical theatre community.”
