Friendship Day

August 25, 2024

10:00a.m. – 2:00p.m

Hosted by Kids & Horses, P and K Ranch, and Al and Vicki Jewell -

Friendship Day was a valley event that happened for years within the car community. Unfortunately, the individual who provided the location moved away, leaving the group without a space to hold the event.

While discussing new fundraising/community connection ideas, a board member suggested a car show. P & K Ranch (where Carson Valley Youth Day is held) generously donated their space, and we connected with Al & Vicki Jewell of the local Inliners International-Northern NV Chapter, and Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA)-Carson-Tahoe Chapter. After meeting with Al & Vicki, we decided to bring back Friendship Day. We hope that this event is the start of something great within our community.

All proceeds from this event go towards supporting Kids & Horses Therapeutic Riding Center, a local nonprofit providing equine assisted services to children and adults with disabilities.

This is just a fun day for car enthusiasts to gather and talk shop, while also supporting a great cause.

Kids & Horses was founded in 1999 by local businessman Sam Waldman and his wife Lorri to enhance the physical and mental well-being of children and adults diagnosed with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other physical and intellectual disabilities. When Mr. Waldman passed away, Lorri along with a devoted board of directors, staff, volunteers and the families resolved to carry on.

25 years later, we have grown to provide a variety of programs for the community, for people of all ages. From: physical, occupational and speech therapy; to summer camps, Washoe tribal programs, local juveniles programs, Comprehensive Learning Skill classes, upcoming foster youth programs, and workshops for individuals with memory loss and their care partners; Kids & Horses continues to change lives with the healing power of equine assisted services.

We offer all of our services at low to no cost for participants, and rely on grants and donations to keep our facility operating. 100% of the proceeds raised from Friendship Day goes directly into our programs and care of our facility. Learn more about us at kidsandhorses.org.

Thank you for your support!
