Her first fund-raising event was an overwhelming success-- an auction/luncheon held last August at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. She is already planning another event of the same nature for August 2009. Check out the website for a beautifully presented statement of purpose.

One of my favorites is "After the Finish Line" in Southern California. ATFL is a relatively new TB charity, but also very worthy of consideration. Thanks for featuring these very important charities during the holiday season. I have several favorite equine charities. One of my favorites is “After the Finish Line” in Southern California.
