High Hopes Gala
Where Every Sip Sparks Healing
At Grand Wine & Spirits, we believe that the true spirit of wine is in the way it brings people together. That’s why we are honored to support the High Hopes Therapeutic Riding Gala, an evening that blends elegance, generosity, and community impact. Each year, this signature event raises vital funds to ensure that children, adults, and veterans with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges can continue to benefit from the healing connection between horse and human. By donating the champagne and wine for the Gala, GWS is proud to be part of a night where every glass poured helps create opportunities for independence, resilience, and joy.
The Heartbeat Behind the Gala
At its core, the High Hopes Gala isn’t just about celebration, it’s about sustaining a mission. High Hopes Therapeutic Riding exists to improve the lives of people with a wide range of abilities through equine-assisted services that nurture mind, body, and spirit. Their programs bring together horses, trained staff, and volunteers to create an inclusive, welcoming community where participants can build strength, confidence, and independence.
The funds raised at the Gala directly support this mission, ensuring that individuals with physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges, as well as veterans and caregivers, have access to life-changing programs year-round. Every dollar raised helps keep lessons affordable, horses healthy, and opportunities within reach for those who need them most.
The Gala is more than an evening, it’s the heartbeat of High Hopes’ work, fueling the compassion, education, and community connections that allow their mission to thrive.
