Big Day or Giving is Coming!

Get Ready it is Almost Here!
Join AAE for Big Day of Giving on May 2nd, starting at midnight!
What is Big Day of Giving?
The Sacramento Region Community Foundation’s Big Day of Giving is once-annual 24-hour giving challenge to help over 600 local nonprofits raise funds to make a difference in the Sacramento region. It’s the culmination of an entire year’s worth of community-building and collaboration, made possible by donors like you and community partners, like Western Health Advantage. Last year with your support AAE raised over $10,000 for our horses.

This year AAE hopes you can help us raise $15,000 to help FILL the BARN!
Your donation of any amount will help feed a horse or offset the cost of
veterinary care, farrier care or dental care.
$25 helps to provide feed to an average horse for about two weeks,
$50 helps provide feed for an average horse for about a month, and
$100 helps provides feed and basic care to an average horse for about a month!
How Can You Help?
You can donate to AAE on Thursday, May 2! Donations as little as $15 make a big difference, and your gifts can help us win some of the $100,000 in prizes that are up for grabs!
You can also schedule your donation now! Click Here Why Wait?! These scheduled gifts will be processed on May 2nd and will guarantee you help up meet our goal! So Easy!
