Spirit of Rotary

Rotary Club of Napa is proud to present our Spring Fundraiser, “Spirit of Rotary.” This year’s event features a picnic and barbecue at the SpiritHorse Ranch in American Canyon. SpiritHorse Ranch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in January 2012 with the mission of “empowering lives through horses.” The Founder and Executive Director, Charlotte Dougherty, and her group of volunteers provide lessons, classes, and camps designed to improve the lives of children and adults who are facing developmental, emotional, social, or physical challenges. She provides scholarships for lessons to those in the community who need support including:

- Children with autism spectrum disorder or special needs

- Homeless families

- Children with cancer

- Drug addiction and trauma survivors

- Veterans and their families

- Fremont School of the Blind students

- Camille Creek High School students

Charlotte is a survivor herself and credits her success to the horses, and to the children and adult program participants. Charlotte has received the KPIX Jefferson Award for her work with SpritHorse Ranch as seen on YouTube:

Rotary Club of Napa has always supported compassionate care for survivors. SpiritHorse Ranch represents our commitment to those in need. Through our Napa Rotary Endowment, proceeds from this Rotary event will: support improvements to the Ranch; provide scholarships for Camille Creek Community School students at SpiritHorse; provide scholarships for campers at Enchanted Hills Camp for the Blind and Visually Impaired; plus provide support for other Rotary Club of Napa projects in the Napa community.

Join us on Saturday, May 4th for Spirit of Rotary, a day for BBQ, pony rides for the children, premium wine, live country music, roping demonstrations, entertainment and much more!
