The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has announced the participants in its fourth annual ASPCA “Help a Horse” Day grants contest.

The nationwide competition of equine rescues and sanctuaries is designed to raise awareness about the year-round lifesaving work they do to care for at-risk horses. This year, 173 groups will be hosting events across 38 states during the weekend of April 21-26 as they compete to win a grand prize of $25,000.

“The goal of ASPCA Help a Horse Day is to shine a light on the incredible work equine rescues and sanctuaries do to care for horses who have been abused or neglected to give them a new lease on life as they look for new homes,” said B.J. Rogers, vice president of ASPCA ProLearning. “Each year, we are continually impressed by the innovative ideas that rescues come up with to engage their local communities on Help a Horse Day and we are honored to help support these efforts to help maximize exposure for the many wonderful horses available for adoption at rescues across the country.”

Participating rescue groups will be judged on the creativity of their events, as well as their ability to engage their local communities to assist their efforts to protect horses. Scheduled activities include open houses, education and volunteer programs, spring festivals, scavenger hunts, and more
