An evening of giving and gratitude …
Â
was spent celebrating life and legacy at the second Ames Family Gala on Thursday, the 16th, at the Talking Stick Resort to kick off the 68th Scottsdale Show.Â
Â
Committed to improving the lives of others, through sickness and in health, by aiding Mayo Hospital’s cancer research while assisting those very families afflicted, and expanding awareness to the benefits of the Arabian horse through The Arabian Horse Promotional Fund (AHPF), The Richard & Georgiann Ames Family Foundation, with the help of multiple generous sponsors, hosted a glamorous VIP gathering of 300+ attendees who, in the spirit of giving, also received, through various silent and live auction items available, from tack to vacation packages.Â
Â
Where the event succeeded most, was in providing a place to share a meal and fellowship, where all those involved shared a commonality, be it through the main purpose of giving or in celebrating those selected by their peers for excellence within the Arabian horse industry, through Arabian Horse Times’ 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards.
