Wild Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Program, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against veteran suicide by providing therapeutic horsemanship programs to veterans returning from deployment, will hold their Wild Hearts Horses for Heroes Benefit Dinner fundraiser on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. Silent auction items are needed and sponsorship opportunities are available.

Wild Hearts Horses for Heroes fundraising dinner will be held at Easton Country Club, in the Terrace Room overlooking the club’s beautiful landscape and ponds, located at 265 Purchase Street, South Easton, MA 02375.

Guests will enjoy a multi-course gourmet meal, entertainment and a silent auction. All proceeds from the Benefit Dinner directly benefit Wild Hearts Horses for Heroes therapeutic horsemanship programs.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 18.8 million military veterans in the U.S. in 2015. Those returning home from deployment may suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other psychological challenges that make it difficult to return to duty or readjust to civilian life. Wild Hearts Horses for Heroes addresses these wounds of war through their therapeutic horsemanship programs offered to dozens of active-duty and veteran service members at no cost.

"Our goal this year is to raise $20,000. In order for Wild Hearts to offer these life-changing programs free of charge, we rely on the support of sponsors and donors to help us make a real difference in the lives of the men and women who put their lives on the line to preserve our freedoms," said Julie Lovely, Executive Director.

To donate sports tickets, memorabilia or other items for the silent auction or to sponsor this event, contact Julie Lovely at 508-857-1737 or email jlovely@wildheartherapeutic.org.

Seating is limited. The Benefit Dinner is a very popular fundraising event and advanced reservations are required. Benefit Dinner tickets are $75 each.
