Dare to Dream

Helping Horse Therapeutic Programs is excited to host the 

Unbridled Hope: Dare to Dream Spring Gala!

 Please join us in dreaming big for the future!  We have come so far over the last 30 years, and the sky's the limit on how far we go in the next 30 years!  Join us for an evening of celebration and excitement.

Our evening begins as you enter the main ballroom at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel.  You'll be greeted by our Board of Directors leadership, handed a celebratory glass of wine, and receive your special sponsorship recognition (if applicable). Peruse through our Silent Auction items, purchase beads for a 50/50 raffle game, personalize your dollars by sponsoring a special horse or student in the program in our "horseshoe" impact campaign, and take advantage of our fun photo opportunity. Enjoy appetizers, wine and beer during our cocktail hour, along with lively music in the background.

Dinner will include a gourmet buffet. WRAL's Ken Smith will be leading our program for the evening and providing guests the opportunity to support Helping Horse through a "fund the need" fundraiser. Our program will leave guests inspired, excited and dreaming for the future impact of Helping Horse within the community. You'll hear directly from our instructors, volunteers, parents, and friends. We can't wait to dream big with you!
