Bently Foundation's 'Wild Night' to Benefit American Wild Horse Conservation
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Bently Foundation's 'Wild Night' event, dedicated to supporting the American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign). This event aims to raise awareness and funds to protect America's wild horses and burros, ensuring their freedom and habitat are preserved.
On October 19th, 2016, the Bently Foundation, in partnership with the Bently Reserve, will host the 'Wild Night' event in San Francisco. This gathering will bring together top philanthropists, celebrity ambassadors, business leaders, and conservationists to support the American Wild Horse Conservation's nonprofit programs. The evening will feature a private performance by LP, adding a special touch to the event's entertainment.
"Bently Foundation was founded by my husband Chris and I based on a need to deliver qualified funding to organizations that support causes close to our hearts," said Bently Foundation co-founder and executive director Camille Bently. "Chris and I are passionate about and devoted to protecting nature and animals; wild horses currently roam free in only ten states, and their numbers have decreased by at least 75 percent over the past century. Unless we do something, the West could lose its wild free-roaming horse and burro populations within our lifetime. We are doing all we can to support this important cause."
"Wild horses are protected by an Act of Congress as 'living symbols of the pioneer and historic spirit of the West,' yet our government is on a path to destroying the last of these iconic symbols of freedom," stated AWHC programs director Deniz Bolbol. "We are fighting to protect and preserve America's wild horses by implementing humane solutions to keep wild horses wild and free on the range where they belong. Wild horses are an integral part of America's ecological and cultural landscape and we are deeply grateful to the Bently Foundation for coming to their defense at this critical time."
Wild Night will take place on October 19th, 2016, beginning at 6pm at the Bently Reserve in San Francisco. More information about the event can be found at www.bentlyfoundation.org/wildnight.
