Ticket purchase goes toward two amazing local charitable organizations;
Audrey Hensley Family Foundation
The Audrey Hensley Family Foundation was created in order to make something good come out of her very sudden, tragic, and senseless death. Her family's intent is to continue to spread her light and love by supporting causes that were important to her. Some examples include funding opportunities for kids to play soccer at the Portage Soccer Club who may not be able to afford to, providing scholarships for graduating Portage Northern seniors planning to attend MSU, and donating to causes like food pantries and animal shelters. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what the Hensley’s hope to do with the foundation.
Audrey Hensley, a vibrant young lady who touched the lives of everyone around her, was a shining example of kindness and generosity. Audrey Hensley, age 22, passed away on November 24, 2023.
Chef Therapeutic Riding Center
Opened in 1969 as the first therapeutic riding center built especially for the purpose of serving those with special needs in North America, the Cheff Therapeutic Riding Center serves riders of all ages who have physical, emotional or cognitive disabilities. Cheff’s mission is to enhance the lives of individuals who have special needs through equine assisted services while leading the industry in education.
