Since 2021, the RHF Raise A Million live auction has been part of festivities centered around the Million Dollar Competition Draw Party, adding to the high-energy weekend of western performance horse and rodeo events while providing philanthropic support for the reining community. The RHF is the charitable arm of the National Reining Horse Association.
The public is invited to attend the Raise A Million Auction at the Live Festival stage inside the South Point Arena and Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The auction will be held Friday, August 16, following the Million Dollar Reining Competition Draw Party, which begins at 12:00 p.m. Clark Reining Horses and Santa Hill Ranch are underwriting an RHF margarita party for those 21 and over. After the auction, guests can enjoy live music on the Live Festival stage.
“This is the fourth time that The Run For A Million has provided the Reining Horse Foundation an opportunity to reach its diverse event audience through the Raise A Million auction,” said Tim Anderson, RHF President. “We appreciate the entire TRFAM team for this opportunity to continue changing lives through our core programs. This event is helping us provide levels of support we only dreamed of previously.”
The Raise A Million live auction is offering six lots, and the assortment is impressive. Donations include:
Custom Show Headstall and Handmade Bit.
Headstall is donated by Bob’s Custom Saddles and the bit is made and donated by Jens Stemminger.
