We invite you to the Darkhorse Legacy Gala, a grand event and fundraiser to support our combat veterans.
Debra Ferrari, the artist who began the Darkhorse series paintings in 2013, will be concluding this collection on January 11th with the final eight paintings out of 25 available for collectors. This is your chance to own an original painting from the poignant Darkhorse series, which started after Debra Ferrari learned about the tragic loss of a Marine unit, where 25 Marines were killed and 200 were wounded in Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011.
This collection supports the Darkhorse Lodge, a recreational facility for all combat veterans in Tennessee. Proceeds from the paintings go to the Lodge, and the rights to the paintings will also be held by the Lodge to continue fundraising efforts.
Please join us for this memorable evening on January 11th. VIP tickets and general admission tickets are available, and we welcome sponsors to support a table. Purchase your tickets today and be part of an unforgettable night.
