Every year, Helping with Horsepower brings together a community of dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, supportive donors, enthusiastic riders, and their families. This year’s celebration promises to be a memorable evening filled with good food, heartfelt recognition, and fun. If you have been part of this journey or want to learn more about the impact of this incredible organization, mark your calendar and join the festivities.
A Warm Invitation to Everyone
Helping with Horsepower has grown thanks to the commitment of many people who share a passion for horses and helping others. This event is a chance to thank everyone who has contributed throughout the year. Whether you have volunteered your time, donated resources, sponsored programs, or participated as a rider or family member, your presence is valued.
The evening begins with a potluck dinner. Helping with Horsepower will provide delicious ribs, and guests are encouraged to bring sides and desserts to share. This mix of flavors and dishes will create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can relax, catch up, and enjoy a meal together.
What to Expect at the Potluck Dinner
Potluck dinners are a wonderful way to bring people together. Here’s what you can look forward to:
-
Sharing stories: This is a perfect time to swap stories about your experiences with Helping with Horsepower.
-
Building connections: Newcomers and long-time supporters alike can meet and connect in a casual setting.
Bringing a side dish or dessert is a simple way to contribute and show your support. If you’re unsure what to bring, consider easy-to-share items like pasta salad, fruit trays, or cookies.
Recognizing Our Volunteers
One of the highlights of the evening is the volunteer awards ceremony. Volunteers are the backbone of Helping with Horsepower, dedicating countless hours to support riders and maintain programs. This night celebrates their hard work and commitment.
These awards not only recognize individual efforts but also inspire others to get involved. Hearing stories about volunteers’ contributions can motivate attendees to find new ways to support the organization.
