Mustangs, Burros, Family, Friends, Food & Fun for a Cause!
Join us for The Cloud Foundation’s annual celebration and fundraising gala!
Hosted at the world-famous Flying W Ranch, TCF’s BORN TO BE WILD is our yearly fundraising event to support our work to keep wild horses and burros wild and free on public lands through public awareness, education, media, direct advocacy, and legal action.
During this event, you will meet our celebrity mustangs— Cloud’s Family will be there - along with other formerly wild ones from HMAs across the American West. You will also meet celebrity humans, like actor Adam Bartley (honorary TCF Board Member), who portrayed “the Ferg” on the hit TV series, “Longmire” and was also on “This Is Us.”
After spending time with our mustang and burro friends, we invite you to come and enjoy a delicious chuckwagon dinner with fellow Cloud Foundation advocates — including TCF founder & Emmy award-winning filmmaker, Ginger Kathrens. After dinner, we will enjoy brief presentations from Ginger and TCF Executive Director, Kerry Ferguson, and Adam Bartley. Then, we’ll kick up our heels and dance to a high-energy performance from The Flying W Wranglers!
Every dollar raised at this event helps us keep wild horse families in the wild, where they belong. Join us for a night you’ll never forget at the beautiful and historic Flying W Ranch.
Put this event in your calendar, get your tickets, and/or become an event sponsor in The Cloud Foundation Store today!
