The Samaratian's Hand Annual Fundraising Gala was a fundraising event for the faith based drug & alcohol outpatient clinic of the same name in the Sheboygan, WI. The gala included fundraising opportunities such as a silent auction, raffle ticket sales, a live auction, and a reverse auction (staring with a large dollar amount and having people promise a donation in that amount.) Over 200 people were at the event.
Van Horn donated $500 to the event and Teresa Van Horn designated an additional $50 donation per Van Horn Attendee at the event. With four employees at the event the final donation came to $700 to Samaritan's Hand.

The Annual Sheboygan County Chamber Champions Gala was an awards ceremony that recognized local businesses for their success and achievements. More than 660 people attended the event.
Van Horn donated $1,000 to the event toward the Pay-it-Forward campaign. The Pay-it-Forward campaign takes donations and chooses a random Gala attendee to decide which Sheboygan County charity will receive the money.
Teresa Van Horn presented the check to Gregg Voigt of Curt C. Joa, Inc who was the random attendee picked. Voigt decided to donate the money to the Sheboygan County Cancer Care Fund.
