Raffle tickets are on sale as part of a fund-raising event for a Grand Valley facility offering animal-assisted therapy programs for children and veterans.

Harmony Acres Equestrian Center has joined with Centennial RV and Moose Country Radio in what’s billed as an RV raffle. 

Entrants will purchase a chance to win a 2022 Keystone RV Passport. Valued at more than $52,000, the nearly 30-foot trailer sleeps six.

Raffle tickets sell for $100 each or six for $500 or 13 for $1,000. Only 999 tickets will be sold.

The drawing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at Gold Mine Bingo, located 511 28 1/4 Road in Grand Junction. The drawing also will be displayed live on the Harmony Acres Facebook page. Entrants need not be present at the drawing to win.

Located at Loma, the Harmony Acres Equestrian Center is home to about 40 animals and provides animal-assisted therapy services to those who’ve experienced abuse or trauma as well as people with disabilities and military veterans. About 85 percent of program participants have high financial needs.

“When you drive onto the property at Harmony Acres, you immediately know that you are in a special place that is completely separate from the daily hustle and bustle,” said Christina Douglass, executive director. “All of the cares and worries that the rest of the world carries seem to melt away, and you can experience the gift of being present with yourself and the very special four-legged beings on the property. It is this protected place that makes deep healing possible.”

The Harmony Acres Equestrian Center also takes animals to assisting living homes in the Grand Valley — including a therapy llama named Lola.

“The smiles she brings to so many faces is really something special and unique,” said Morgan Kareus, program director. “These interactions are simple in many ways, but the connections that people make with our animals are deep, sometimes complex and often long lasting.”
