Last month's Diamonds & Denim Fundraising Gala was truly a night to remember, filled with unforgettable moments, amazing company, and incredible generosity! Our guest list brought good vibes and highly contagious lively energy.
Let's Reminisce Real Quick
Guests enjoyed drinks, dinner, dancing, donations, and performances all night long! As guests sat down for dinner they were entertained by upcoming artist, Myla followed by a rousing cowboy calcutta before watching their bets play out on the dirt in a private bares & broncs rodeo showcase. Bareback athlete and NFR qualifier Chad Rutherford got the win on 590 Fat Bottom Girl, taking home a special Hood County Stampede engraved rifle.
It was pure joy watching our supporters bid it out for a good cause and take home some great prizes. Some of our live auction winners were the recipients of a 7-night trip to Costa Rica, private in-home dining experience from Magdalena's, Colt 1911, Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag, 1960 Belgian-made Browning, and a surprise acoustic Fender guitar signed on stage by The Great Divide.
To close out the event, The Great Divide took the stage and everyone danced and enjoyed the private concert experience late into the night.
