First Annual Barn Party/Fundraiser - June 21, 2008
Thank you to all our wonderful contributors!
Special Spirit Inc. (a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization,supporting therapeutic riding assisted programs for individuals with disabilities and special needs) would like to give a big thank you to all our contributors. The auction was the main attraction of this event, with fantastic items to bid on, made possible by YOU with your generous donations.
Close to 350 people came to participate and contribute to our “maiden voyage”, regardless of the scorching heat. I take my hat off to you all!
The net proceeds will be distributed to the Kiwanis on September 28, 2008 at Hansen Dam Equestrian Center during the “Equestrian Competition for Special Athletes”. Special Spirit will have 3-4 autistic riders in this event! Please feel free to come and volunteer or support, and see what your contributions helped create.
The food tent, another popular attraction, donated by HOWS Food Market was greatly appreciated by all. A big thank you to Mary K Hughes and her fabulous family.
The equestrian entertainment started with a jumping demonstration, followed by a heart-warming presentation by able and disabled children of The Valley View Vaulters. Closing the equestrian entertainment was War Horse Foundation; they executed their military maneuvers in authentic British/Indian Colonial Cavalry uniforms from 1880. What a spectacular sight!
Our celebrity rocker/polo player, Fee Waybill, of the Tubes, rocked the house down with support from Candice Devine and a great band put together for this occasion, followed by country/blues artist Ashley Caldwell and her band. HA! Helen & Alex Wright performed between the equestrian act.
Nate Stein and Madeleine Falk performed on stilts and did an exciting juggling act.
We look forward to see you all again next year for a bigger and even better fundraiser!
Thank you all from
Eva Lund, Mary K Hughes, Paul Reynolds, Debbie Wolf, Sandy Cooper and Sue Holland
