Just around the corner, scheduled for Sunday, January 25, 2015 at Northern Quest Resort and Casino, the Gallop Stallion Service Auction annual event takes place. Once again, presented by Rhodes River Ranch, the upcoming auction will mark its 32nd year since the event started.
The event will kick off at 12 noon, PST, enabling national and international locations to participate in the bidding. All the stallions will be presented on thirty-foot screens at the event, while Internet onlookers will be able to watch the event streamed live to their computers, see a flashing toll free number, place a call to one of the Gallop phone operators, and bid on services of any stallion or vacation packages in the lineup.
Some of the outstanding stallions in the auction include Blazing Hot, VS Flatline, Hot Ones Only, VS Code Red, Hubba Hubba Huntin, Potential Asset, and Execute A Score. Click here to see entire list.
This is your opportunity to help a family in crisis who needs to be with their child in a hospital. How can you do that? Well, first mark your calendars for Sunday, January 25, 2015 for one of the nation’s most successful fundraising equine events – the Gallop Stallion Services Auction!
The Gallop Annual Charity Auction is rated as one of the best in the country and features the most impressive lineup ever. Each year, new stallion owners join the ranks of current Gallop stallion donors who want nothing more than to support the mission!
Can’t or don’t think you can make it to the event? Pre-bidding is currently being taken, or bid live the day of the Gallop event, Sunday, January 25th, with one of the Gallop telephone operators. Just go to the website at www.GallopAuction.com and starting at 11am PST you will find within the Gallop template a flashing toll free number for you to call. Have your credit card ready for the information that the operator will be asking, and try not to call in earlier than one to two services before your interested service hits the auction block.
Not going to be near a computer the day of the event? On the road, working, hauling home from a horse show? Maybe you’re not confident with your dial up speed, or you’re not computer friendly. Let Barb Turner know ahead of the event and arrangements can be made to contact you before your interested service comes up on the auction block.
With all of this excitement, don’t forget the primary mission. All net proceeds from the Gallop Stallion Services Auction go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane, enabling them to continue serving hundreds of families.
Imagine if your child was sick. What would you do if you had to fly to a hospital in a different city far from your home? Would you know where to go? When you arrived at the hospital, where would you put your extra clothes? Where would you shower? Where would you wash your clothes? Who would you turn to for help? These and many other questions are all answered daily by the volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane.
Families are provided temporary lodging, comfort and support while their children are accessing medical services. These basic needs are met while they help their children overcome their medical struggles. The House provides a consistent and caring helping hand, lessening the mental and financial strain on the families. It allows them to focus on the most important thing… supporting their children. Families are stronger when they are together, which helps children heal faster. While no one can ease the pain of having a seriously ill or injured child, you can help lessen the burden by providing a safe, comfortable ‘home away from home’.
You can be a part of the RMHC family. You can make a direct impact on the life of a child today. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane looks forward to seeing you all at the Gallop Stallion Service Auction on Sunday, January 25th, 12:00 noon for a “Fun-raising” event. For more information about Gallop, or the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane, please contact Barbara Turner at 509-990-4167.
