This event is more than just a gathering—it’s a celebration of the healing power of horses and the incredible transformations they make possible. All three nonprofits are committed to helping others heal. We will have yummy food, drinks, music, a silent auction and more. I should note that WAGE just started a new mentoring program in Asbury Park, NJ, designed specifically for female athletes to help boost self-esteem, empower them to be catalysts of change and live a life absent of abuse. WAGE is strictly volunteer, so all proceeds will go toward our programming that aligns with using education to prevent or end violence against women and girls.
