Taste of Love will be on March 21, 2027 Thank you to our amazing Taste of Love 2026 Chefs and Culinary Partners

On Sunday, March 22, 2026, at 5:00 pm, Special Equestrians, Inc. celebrated Taste of Love at The Ranch Concert Hall and Saloon, located at 2158 Colonial Blvd in Fort Myers. Our theme for 2026 was “Join Us for an Enchanted Evening, Making Miracles Happen.”

Taste of Love guests enjoyed delicious culinary creations, our silent and live auction and the beautiful enchanted decor as we raised funds to benefit Special Equestrians, Inc.,  a United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades Partner. 

Hosted in support of Special Equestrians, Inc., this magical evening was our most successful fundraiser to date. Our nonprofit organization provides therapeutic horseback riding and equine-assisted services to individuals with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.

Our participants have ranged in age from four to ninety-seven. Tuition covers less than 25% of the cost to run our programs and many of our participants have scholarships. In 2026, Special Equestrians celebrated our 40th year of serving this community.

Together, we are creating a path to greater independence, confidence, and joy—one stride at a time. We thank everyone who gave their time, talent and donations to this event. Taste of Love 2026 was a magical evening experienced by our sponsors, donors, guests, staff and volunteers. 

We hope to see you next year when we present Taste of Love in 2027 on Sunday, March 21 at The Ranch Concert Hall and Saloon.
