(June 30, 2016) Time is running out to purchase tickets to Star Charities’ annual Western Night fundraiser on Thursday, July 14 at Ocean Downs Racetrack, located off Route 589 near Ocean Pines.
Star Charities Founder Anna Foultz said any remaining tickets would be available at the door, but advance purchases are highly recommended.
This year all monies raised will go to support the 4 Steps Therapeutic Riding Program in Parsonsburg. Founded in 2004 by Sandy Winter, the nonprofit has worked with clients between the ages of 3 and 80 that have been diagnosed with medical challenges including visual and hearing impairments, traumatic brain injuries, post traumatic stress disorder, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, stroke, developmental disabilities, muscular dystrophy and Down syndrome.
Foultz said Winter is extremely dedicated to equine rescue and is excited for Star Charities to lend its support.
“She takes racehorses and gives them a second life,” Foultz said. “She goes out of her way and uses a lot of her own money.”
The cost for tickets is $26, which includes a mixed green salad, Romano and egg battered chicken, English-style baked tilapia, fresh veggie medley, parsley buttered whole bliss potatoes, penne pasta and carrot cake. It can all be washed down with coffee, tea and fountain drinks.
In addition to the ample food selection, attendees can also enjoy live harness and simulcast horse races, as well as be in the running for door prizes. There will even be a photo opportunity with the winning horse from the one of the races. This year’s emcee is Larry Walton. Doors open at 4 p.m.
Recognizing others who are doing good in the community is always rewarding for Foultz.
“That’s the way we are, us volunteers,” she said. “That comes with it, we’re always helping one another.”
Seating is limited. For reservations, contact Barbara Mazzei at 908-581-5533.
