The 13th Annual Audrey Grace Auction to raise funds for the Audrey Grace House, New Horizon’s home for sexually and physically abused children in Abilene, Texas, is now being featured on the Pleasurehorse.com forum. Stallion services, tack, jewelry, show clothing, art work and much more will be up for grabs to the highest bidder now through 5 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 14. InStride Edition has donated a full page, full color cameraready ad to the auction that can be used any month in 2015.
AQHA and NSBA breeder and competitor Jane Backes started the auction following the loss of their daughter, Audrey Grace, at birth in 2002. Since then the auction has raised over $650,000 through the online bidding event and the Backes family matches the money raised, making the total raised $1,300,000. Thanks to sizable additional contribution from the T. Boone Pickens Foundation and the Reese Jones Foundation, the dream for the Audrey Grace House became a reality in 2009 when the first children moved into the facility.
Tax deductible donations and money raised through the annual online auction continue to help with the full scope of the project. The money is used from purchasing the land, to building the home, maintaining the house, supplying food, clothes, schooling, medical care, hiring Master’s level licensed clinicians who provide the care these children need, and 24 hour caregivers.
