most money, for Beck it was much
more than that.
“I know how expensive horses
are, and to have a program like that,
I know how much it costs to run it.
The winning of the event was icing
on the cake. On top of raising all that
money, it was awesome to win for
them,” she said.
Paired with the winning chef,
Whistle Hill’s Paxton Lanning, they,
along with the Millers, made a team
that no one could stop. Beck was
happy to have such helpful partners
during the fundraising.
“Paxton was so helpful. He
jumped right in and was so hands-
on with everything. We were such a
good team and planned every event
together,” she said.
Beck (and Lanning) worked hard
the eight weeks she raised money for
Stars and Strides. She said it was hard
in the beginning because Hurricane
Harvey and Hurricane Irma attracted
the attention and money of charity
givers. After the dust settled, Beck
was able to start raising money by
holding numerous events. From a
two-day concert in the square to a
golf tournament, Beck made sure that
she used every opportunity to raise
money.
She also used her connections in
the real estate world (Beck is a realtor
for Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s) to raise
money during the event.
“Most of the tables I sold were
through the title companies and
companies I had supported in the
past. They were able to give back and
supported me by either buying tables
or playing golf in the tournament,”
she said. “It was fun to get out here
and get creative and raise money.
I met so many awesome people
throughout this whole process, and it
truly was a humbling experience.”
Her most humbling and favorite
thing about this experience was the
kids.
“They were awesome and so
much fun. They always had a smile
on their faces. It was amazing to
watch a girl get out of a wheelchair
and get on top of a horse. No matter
what the disability, they were always
smiling ear to ear.”
