Fashion, thrilling horse racing, and community support came together at the Saratoga Race Course for the Fifth Annual Tribute to Transforming Lives! Held at the elegant 1863 Club, guests gathered for a memorable day dedicated to making a lasting impact in the Capital Region.

While a brief rain delay tested our patience, it couldn’t dampen the energy or enthusiasm of our amazing community. The day was filled with delicious food, stunning runway looks presented by Saratoga Trunk Lady’s Finery, and exciting trackside action, all benefitting two vital organizations: Living Resources and Building On Love.

A Tribute of Love and Dedication

One of the most poignant moments of the day came during the Race 7, which was dedicated by their sister Barbara Bouchey in loving memory of her brothers Danny (RIP) and Brian, who is proudly supported by Living Resources. It was a beautiful tribute celebrating family, community, and the transformative power of compassionate care.

Bidding with Purpose

Guests engaged in friendly competition throughout the afternoon during our exciting live auction and carefully curated silent auction. From unique experiences to fine merchandise, every bid placed helped raise critical funds directly supporting individuals and families supported by Living Resources and Building On Love.

Thank You for Transforming Lives
