RTT Development Director Kelly Johnson said that this year’s event will celebrate “Team RTT,” and all the different ways that this manifests at the farm, from riding teams to volunteers to staff to client families to paddock mates.

At the event RTT pays tribute to the people, horses, businesses and organizations that have helped sustain Riding To The Top since its beginning in 1993, Johnson said.

Organizers for the Oct. 19 event have a goal of raising $200,000 to support Financial Aid for RTT’s clients and Horse Care.

The evening will feature Schilly’s mouthwatering barbecue, a Mission Based Auction, dancing to the live music of local favorite “Under The Covers,” a fantastic raffle, photo booth, boot contests and door prizes. Michelle Taylor of 99.9 THE WOLF will return to emcee and auctioneer Elizabeth Ross 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 services for local children and adults with disabilities.

Sarah Bronson, RTT’s Executive Director, shared that “this event has become a community favorite. While raising critical funds to support RTT’s programs and most notably our Rider and Horse Funds, it’s also an incredibly fun evening for our guests, including some time meeting our horses, enjoying delicious food, music and dancing!”

This year’s Triple B is supported by many local business partners led by our Grand Champion Sponsor, Portland Volvo, and Reserve Champion Sponsor, Norway Savings Bank.
