4th Annual Pink Horse Shoe Gala benefiting Horse Power for Life











The 4th Annual Pink Horse Shoe Gala and Silent Auction was held on Saturday April 9th at the Sheraton Great Valley Hotel in Frazer, PA to benefit Horse Power for Life, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, whose mission is to improve the physical and emotional quality of life for individuals affected by cancer by providing educational and recreational horsemanship programs for patients of all ages and one family member. Our goal is to help families living with cancer focus on their minds, bodies, and souls, rather than the disease while learning about horses in an atmosphere of professionalism, teamwork, and fun.

The 2011 Gala was a huge success. With over 160 guests attending from the Main Line area, the evening included Hors d’oeuvres, Food Stations with an International Flair, Four Hours Premium Open Bar, Featured music by The All Love 10-Piece Orchestra, Music and Dancing, 19 Fabulous Silent Auction Items and 23 Themed Raffle Baskets. Horse Power for Life recognized Denise O’Connor for her kindness and generosity to the program. 100% of the money raised at our events goes back into the organization so we can continue to provide services to families living with cancer.

Thank you to everyone who made this event such a great success. The whole Banbury Cross crew had a fantastic time. Kudos to Shiree... you did an amazing job on the event!!

Horse Power for Life currently has openings and is recruiting new students into the program. For more information on how to enroll in the program or to donate please visit our website at www.horsepowerforlife.org or call Shiree Radie at (484) 341-8393.
