On July 19, more than 300 friends of Austin’s House gathered at the Twisting T-Bar Ranch for our annual Boots & Bling gala. Surrounded by the beauty of the Carson Valley, it was an evening filled with generosity, connection, and hope for the children who are placed at Austin’s House when they need emergency shelter.
We are especially grateful to the Twisting T-Bar Ranch for opening their gates to us once again. The ranch’s setting created the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable night, and we deeply appreciate their support in helping us bring the community together.
Guests enjoyed a memorable dinner prepared by Big Blue Q. From tender brisket and ribs to homemade ice cream sandwiches, the food was a highlight of the evening and earned rave reviews.
This event would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors, who make Boots & Bling possible year after year.
We also want to thank the many businesses and individuals who donated live and silent auction items and in-kind services. Your contributions added excitement to the evening and helped raise critical funds for children in need of safe shelter and care.
And of course, we are grateful to our attendees. Every paddle raised, every auction bid, and every show of support added up to an incredible demonstration of community. Your generosity ensures that children placed at Austin’s House have not only a safe place to sleep, but also access to schooling, nutritious meals, and compassionate care.
Events like Boots & Bling are only possible because of the collective effort of so many people. From board members greeting guests, to volunteers working behind the scenes, to staff coordinating countless details, we are thankful for every person who helped bring this event to life.
