Hope in the Valley Equine Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. is a non-profit, tax exempt (501c) 3 corporation. It was founded by Ande Miller in an effort to rescue and rehabilitate horses in Sedgwick County, KS and surrounding communities. The rescue has been developed to provide care for horses that have been abused, neglected, abandoned, unwanted or are slaughter bound. Their hope is that they someday will be able to go to permanent, loving homes.
Hope in the Valley operates totally on tax deductible contributions. Their goal for each horse is to heal them physically and emotionally. They do have some permanent equine but really aim to adopt out as many as possible. They are run 100% by volunteers. This will be the first "big" fundraiser event. They have also set up a Pay Pal link so that you can purchase tickets for the concert via their website. www.HopeintheValleyEquineRescue.org
