We believe fashion can be life-changing, building confidence, creativity, and purpose. From covering transportation costs to lending sewing machines, we make sure everyone has the chance to learn, create, and shine!
Dream to Reality: Developed and lead by famed Project Runway designer, Gordana Gelhausen, Thread Fashion Future is deeply passionate in helping kids of all ages develop creativity, social skills, and emotional well-being through hands-on activities like sewing, knitting, and crochet. By teaching these artistic skills paired with unique interactive experiences, kids will be able to showcase their new skills to family and friends at fashion events Thread Fashion Future will host.

Rocking R Rescue
Rocking R Rescue is founded on hope for those with no one else to turn to. Taking in some of the worst medical cases in the country, we believe where there is life, there is hope.
​
Rocking R Ranch and Rescue is a nonprofit organization with a focus on saving equine and more in need. We rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for each precious aNina’s . Our main focus is on saving equines from slaughter, ahead of the kill buyers. We attend local auctions and bid against them, saving the horse before they reach the kill pen. We also assist local law enforcement with neglect cases and owner surrenders. We believe that their lives are worthy, and deserving of a chance to be healthy and happy. Those that are not considered "adoptable" due to their health or age, remain at the rescue with us. We do NOT believe in ending a life just because they are not adoptable.
