DARKHORSE LEGACY GALA
Ferrari Gallery and I invite you to the Darkhorse Legacy Gala, a grand event and fundraiser hosted by Ferrari Gallery to support our combat veterans.
I, Debra Ferrari, began the Darkhorse series paintings in 2013, and 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 I learned about The Marine Corps' 3/5 "Darkhorse" unit's 2010/2011 deployment to Afghanistan, where 25 Marines were killed in action and 200 were wounded.
This collection supports the Darkhorse Lodge, a recreational facility located in Tennessee where combat veterans of all branches across the US can plan their visit or reunion. Proceeds from the paintings and ticket sales 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.
