The Naples Charitable Events season is about to kick off with one of the best parties of the year! The Ninth Annual Bootstrap Boogie Barn Dance is Saturday, November 8th. The Barn Dance is a great contrast to the more formal fundraising affairs around town. You won’t see any black ties in this arena; just boots, live country music, dancing, bull riding and great food.
The Naples Equestrian Challenge hosts the Barn Dance with the help of several wonderful sponsors. NEC was established in 1995 to provide therapeutic riding and other equine-related programs for children and adults with special needs. This organization is near and dear to my heart. My daughter is a rider in this program, so I have personally witnessed the measurable difference these horses, volunteers, staff and therapists make in someone’s life.
Make sure you buy your tickets before you get your boots out because this Party sells out every year!
