Shining a bright light during a cool November night onto the role horses play in physical and behavioral therapies for men, women and children facing a variety of challenges, InStride Therapy hosted the annual signature Black Tie & Blue Jeans, An Equestrian Gala on its beautiful 62-acre Nokomis equestrian center. The event transformed the sand-covered riding arena into a rustic yet elegant extravaganza, raising awareness as well as more than $100,000 for therapeutic services.
Attendees were treated to specialty-crafted cocktails, a classic Chef Paul Mattison-catered dinner as well as line dancing lessons, S’mores and auctions. Bronson Arroyo, former Boston Red Sox World Series pitcher, provided the evening’s musical entertainment.
“I am so proud to have been a part of bringing the much-deserved attention to this essential programming for people who live every day with special needs,” said Sheryl Vieira, event chair and Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations at Caldwell Trust Company. “Our turn out was electrifying, and we look forward to building on that momentum at our 2020 event, which will be hosted on Saturday, November 14, 2020.”
