RTT’s Triple B Boots, Band and BBQ celebrates its 10th year

Saturday October 14from 5:30 p.m. to -11 p.m. at 14 Lilac Drive in Windham, Riding To The Top Therapeutic (RTT) Riding Center will host its 10^th Annual Triple B ~ Boots, Band and BBQ.  
 

Cheers for 10 years will celebrate the Triple B’s decade of raising awareness and funds for RTT’s riders, horses and programs. This year’s event will highlight the life changing services that have been made possible because of the generosity of Triple B guests, sponsors and volunteers during the past decade. Organizers for the October 14 event have a goal of raising $215,000 to reach the million dollar mark!  

The evening will feature DennyMike’s mouthwatering barbecue, a Mission Based Auction, dancing to the live music of local favorite, Under The Covers, a fantastic raffle, a photo booth, boot contests and door prizes.  Michelle Taylor of 99.9 THE WOLF will return to emcee and auctioneer Elizabeth Holmstrom will call the unique mission based auction.   

This annual “Party with a Purpose” plays a vital role in RTT’s ability to provide equine assisted activities and therapies for local children and adults with disabilities. 

Sarah Bronson, RTT’s Executive Director, shared that “We would not be able to provide services for people with disabilities as we do - 6 days a week, year round - without our volunteers and supporters like those who show up for the Triple B!”  Riding To The Top is a community based nonprofit, receives no federal, state or municipal funding and provides scholarships to over 60% of its clients.”
