A BIG Cowboy Ball Thank You!

Brought to you by D.L. Evans Bank

It was amazing to welcome so many of you back in person to the Cowboy Ball, which was at full capacity again. Yay! Thank you!

We’re excited to report that we have exceeded our fundraising goal for the 31st Annual Cowboy Ball—our main fundraising event of the year. The numbers are still being tallied and we’ll report them soon but we are beyond grateful for your support. We did it. Your support makes a difference.

Our programs are only possible due to the generosity of you—our community.

Thank you to all of you who showed up in person and online and bid, outbid, paddled up, and supported our mission to empower individuals of all abilities to find strength and freedom through equine connections.

A special thanks to our title sponsor, D.L. Evans Bank, and to our local businesses who donated live and silent auction items. If you didn’t win or bid, be sure to stop in their shops and businesses and support them.

Thank you to our staff, who work hard day in and day out to make our mission a reality. We’d also like to thank our board for their incredible support, and last but not least, we’d like to thank our volunteers. Without our volunteers, Swiftsure would be a fraction of what it is today.

Over the past few years, the demand for our services has grown exponentially and into new areas. The pandemic has been hard for many—mentally, physically, and emotionally. Being out of a “normal” cadence is tough. Many of our participants find a sense of calm and normalcy while at the ranch. Thanks to funds raised from the Cowboy Ball, we can continue to make life-changing impacts in the lives of our participants and their families and friends.

A special thank you to Caroline Woodham Photography and Dark to Light Productions for developing another incredible impact story. This team went above and beyond this year to capture the essence and impact of the ranch.
