PURPOSE

Funds raised at the 40th Annual Reins of Life Gala Auction support Little Bit’s life-changing equine-assisted services. Currently, our program participants pay less than 35 percent of the actual program cost. Your support of this event, in any form and at any level, allows Little Bit to keep our program fees as low as possible while serving as many people with disabilities as we possibly can.

Please join us on Saturday, May 3, so we can ensure Little Bit’s continued success in transforming the lives of people with disabilities. We look forward to expanding our Little Bit community while reflecting on and raising awareness of the Little Bit mission.
