(Saturday November 04, 2023 4:00-9:00 PM at J & J Ranch in La Quinta, CA)
Indio, CA
Coachella Valley Horse Rescue (CVHR) will host a “RAISING HAY” fundraiser at the historic J & J Ranch (58300 Almonte Dr. La Quinta, CA) on Saturday, November 4, 2023. This charity event will raise money to support the ongoing rescue operations and equine-assisted enrichment programs offered at their animal rescue facilities in Indio, CA
The evening will kick off at 4:00 PM with light appetizers and the opening of a silent auction featuring artwork, jewelry, home goods, and certificates for restaurants, rounds of golf, tours and activities, spa services, travel (including a vacation rental in Las Vegas for New Years Eve), and more.
In keeping with their western / ranch theme, a chili bar dinner (with both regular and vegetarian/vegan chili) will be provided by Croux & Co. Catering starting at 5:00 PM. The event will also feature a DJ, country line dance lessons, a veterans tribute, silent auction, and a cash beer/wine bar with craft beer served from a classic beer truck (provided by Tap Truck IE).
CVHR’s need is greater than ever following devastating damage to their quarantine corrals and other rescue facilities caused by Tropical Storm Hilary. Their goal is to raise at least $100,000 to cover operational costs for the first quarter of 2024 for feed & hay (which has more than doubled since COVID), health supplements, medical and dental care for the horses, specialized hoof trims and treatments, storm damage repairs, and other necessary costs. Money raised at this event will also support scholarships and grants for their equine-assisted youth and veterans wellness and enrichment programs.
This event is made possible by the generous support of John K. Miller of Premier Real Estate Group (presenting sponsor) and major underwriters Maco Equipment Rentals, ProSeed Landscape & Irrigation, and Red Jeep Tours by Desert Adventures.
