HETRA's 25th Annual Blue Jeans & Dreams Benefit
Join us for our 25th Annual event on Saturday, April 25th 2026.
Join us for the 25th Annual Blue Jeans & Dreams Benefit, HETRA’s signature fundraising event, on Saturday, April 25 in the HETRA Barn. This silver anniversary marks 25 years of gathering our community to support life-changing, equine-assisted services—and this year’s event will honor that legacy while looking ahead.
Guests will enjoy a BBQ dinner, live and silent auctions, raffle opportunities, and powerful stories and experiences throughout the evening. It’s a relaxed night with a meaningful purpose and plenty of ways to get involved.
Proceeds from Blue Jeans & Dreams directly support HETRA’s Participant Sponsorship Fund, helping keep services accessible for individuals and families by reducing financial barriers to participation.
Whether you’re attending for the first time or returning as part of a long-standing tradition, your participation and support makes a real difference. Support Blue Jeans & Dreams by attending the event, bidding and donating during the evening, or by becoming a sponsor. Each contribution helps ensure HETRA’s services remain available to those who need them.
Together, we continue Changing Lives One Stride at a Time.
