port programs. The Harriet E. Pfleger Foundation awarded TERI $1 million to build the Harriet E. Pfleger Therapeutic Equestrian Center. “For nearly 10 years, we have worked to make the Center for Research & Life Planning a reality, and today’s fundraiser has brought us one step closer,” said Cheryl Kilmer, founder of TERI. “The center is a new model for delivering the services we’ve developed over the past 30 years, and a venue to incorporate the ever-evolving programs we develop to meet the changing needs of our clients
and their families. This university-like campus will be an internationally recognized resource for research, education, training and life quality — something that simply doesn’t exist today.” Guests of the event enjoyed fresh Italian dishes donated by Vigilucci’s Restaurant Group and Chef Mario Gutierrez from Bellagio Ristorante & Bakery; as well as wine tasting with sommelier Derek Alten and pouring by Leonesse Cellars. Live music was performed by the Rey Vinole Big Band, with a special performance by the San Diego Master Chorale.
There was also a client art exhibition and sale, with all proceeds benefiting the center, as well as the world premiere of the “I am TERI” video, which highlights experiences of TERI clients, parents, staff and volunteers.
