2015 Fundraising and Community Outreach Events

Our goal during these various community outreach functions is not only to raise monetary support, but most importantly, to educate the public.  We discuss horse care, basic needs, expenses, abuse and neglect.  Our presence has opened many eyes and brought a wonderful group of individuals together.  All of us are doing our part to change the lives of these magnificent creatures and ultimately preparing our upcoming generation with the knowledge and skill to more appropriately make horse ownership decisions.

If you would like to become a part of this change and touch the lives of our beloved rescues, just click the contact button at the top of your screen, list your area of interest in the comments section and one of our board members will get back with you on details to get you started!

Last year, a record of 6,000 people gathered to sample traditional and gourmet offerings of Mac & Cheese and award bragging rights to The Best Mac & Cheese in Charleston. This year will be even better!

Grab the entire family. Bring a chair, towel or blanket and spend the day at this family friendly fun event. Come over to the H.O.P.E. Booth and see us. We will have the HOPE Express on site for the kids, pony rides, hotdogs and several folks available to talk with you about our mission, adoptions, volunteering and how your involvement can help bring change to our local equine community. See you there! (All proceeds raised at our booth will go directly toward our rescue and rehabilitation efforts.)
