Past Events
2024 FUNdraising Gala
February 3, 2024
Some 450 individuals, most new to Rhythms of Grace, heard inspiring stories of participant lives improving through equine-assisted services. Volunteers shared how opportunities to serve have changed their own lives and we celebrated the presentation of our first “Inspire Award” recipient.
The live-auctioned scrumptious desserts kicked off the fun-filled evening and everyone walked away with a greater appreciation and many with new travel plans and other auction items won that evening. Our annual horse sponsorship program kicked off and will become an ongoing avenue to support our horse partners throughout each year. The Iowa State Fairgrounds is our new home for sharing fun and inspiration and making new friends each year.
Mark your calendars for February 1, 2025.
2023 FUNdraising Gala
February 4, 2023
On the first Saturday in February, nearly 400 generous supporters joined us at the beautiful Country Lane Lodge near Adel for a fun-filled evening of heart-touching stories, delicious food and drinks, great company, enjoyable entertaining activities, and opportunities to raise funds in support of the Rhythms of Grace therapeutic riding and therapy programs. It was truly an inspiring evening to come together to celebrate and support our mission of improving lives through therapeutic horse-related programs.
Thank you to all of our volunteers, clients and supporters.
2022 FUNdraising Gala
February 5, 2022
The first ever Rhythms of Grace Gala took place in 2022. To say that this event was a success would be an understatement. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of our community. Because of you we were able to:
ESTABLISH A SCHOLARSHIP FUND to assist riders with the cost associated with lessons and therapy; and
PURCHASE A SPECIAL HORSE with the size, strength and temperament to support adult riders with diverse needs.
Thank you to all the volunteers and everyone who participated to make this such a special evening!
