WELCOME! Welcome to High Hopes’ H U E S O F H O P E at the B I G B A R N B A S H ! It is our pleasure to welcome you once again to the Farm for our most significant fundraising event supporting 20% of the annual operating budget. Tonight is especially noteworthy because we are able to once again gather, like in so many years before the pandemic, for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres under the porte cochére and then make our way into the indoor arena transformed for the night into Chez Cheval Lounge. Tonight is the celebration of you, our vibrant, philanthropic community, whose generous support makes it possible for High Hopes to provide the important equine assisted services where horses and humans together improve lives. So let’s connect, toast, and get those hooves on the dance floor (yes, pun intended) for a Bash like no other!
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead
Benchmark Wealth Management is honored to partner with High Hopes with gratitude for all that they do to make the world a better place.

SC H O L ARSH I P WE ARE THANKFUL TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER WITH SO MANY OF OUR FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS We hope you have an evening filled with music, great food, laughter and HOPE for our future! Let’s remember why High Hopes matters… The impact of 2+ years of COVID-19 is felt by us all. The need to increase services is evident, particularly in the provision of mental health services. The positive impact the horse has on one’s sense of well-being is apparent in tonight’s video. Teddy, the star of tonight’s video, and his 20 herd mates, impact the lives of over 1,000 individuals each year here at High Hopes.
We also work to ensure High Hopes continues to serve everyone who could benefit from our program, regardless of their financial circumstances. This can only be accomplished by having a robust and sustainable scholarship program. Despite having fewer participants, financial aid requests rose by over 60% as the financial hardships of the past year fell particularly hard on many of our participant families. At the B I G B A R N B AS H we will premiere a short video that demonstrates the continued impact High Hopes has on the life of our community. We ask that you pause briefly in your conversations to watch how just one horse’s interactions improves the lives of our participants. Imagine the impact of the entire herd and your support of the 2022 Scholarship Drive. With your help, you are providing hope for a life filled with possibilities not disabilities. Thank you!
High Hopes would like to thank DREAMSCAPES MARKETING & DESIGN for their generous donation of their time and talent in creating tonight’s video.
