Event Details

Barn party in Los Angeles? Yes, please! Tickets are only $50 and will sell out fast.

Big City Forum and Pink Cloud will be hosting a fundraiser dinner for Taking the Reins. TtR is a remarkable non-profit that develops self-esteem, teamwork, responsibility and leadership skills for teenage girls at risk through learning to ride and care for horses, sustainable gardening, and art lessons. Photo based artist Alia Malley and landscape architect Mia Lehrer will be presenting to the group.

The goal of this benefit and presentation is to highlight the outstanding accomplishments by these two creative leaders, present positive creative role models to young girls in the TtR program, and expand the profile of Taking the Reins by exposing it to a larger creative community.
