The Active 20-30 Club of Albuquerque just wrapped its annual Children’s Shopping Spree and is focusing on its biggest event of the year, the 23rd annual Equestrian Cup Wine & Food Tasting. The event takes place October 23 at Expo New Mexico to benefit All Faiths Receiving Home and its children's safe house.
The Equestrian Cup offers attendees beer and wine sampling from local breweries and wineries, along with food booths that represent Albuquerque restaurants. An equestrian competition takes place in a horse event area, and attendees can bid on art, a Napa Valley vacation, vintage wines, spa services and restaurant gift certificates at a silent auction. Tickets for the event are $50.
The 20-30 Club is a group of professionals under 40 whose mission is to support charitable programs for children. Members represent many professions, including restaurants, retail, banking, accounting, law, health care, real estate, technology, engineering and government.

“They provide a safe house for kids who are going through some form of trauma, as well as family counseling and a day care center,” Kynor said.
Kynor said the 20-30 Club has funded the safe house for many years. He has served as a member of the All Faiths foundation board of trustees for three years.
“The most rewarding thing you can do is help someone who can’t help themselves, especially when you help someone without expectation of notoriety and gratitude. That’s when you really feel rewarded,” Kynor said.
The Equestrian Cup takes place from noon to 4 p.m. More information about the event and the 20-30 Club is online. Click here for information on All Faiths Receiving Home.
