At BEX®, we believe love comes in many forms—whether it’s the bond between horse and rider, the companionship of a rescue pup, or a community coming together to help animals in need. That’s why we were honored to support PAWject Runway, a one-of-a-kind equestrian fashion show and silent auction benefiting Desert Paws Sanctuary and Thrive Animal Rescue. Presented by Tack Warehouse, this stylish fundraiser was dedicated to relocating and caring for animals affected by the devastating California wildfires. A big thank you to Desert Horse Park for hosting the entire event and providing a beautiful space for such an important cause!

An Unforgettable Night of Fashion and Giving Back

PAWject Runway was more than just an event—it was a night filled with style, generosity, and a shared passion for animal welfare. Guests enjoyed a stunning equestrian fashion show featuring top brands, celebrities and riders, met adorable adoptable dogs, and participated in a silent auction to raise much-needed funds for animals in crisis. With every bid placed and every dollar donated, the community came together to bring hope to animals in need.

BEX® Brings Style to the Cause

As a brand built for adventure and the outdoors, BEX® was thrilled to be part of this incredible event. Our exclusive raffle giveaway was a huge hit, with attendees eager for the chance to take home a one-of-a-kind BEX® basket packed with polarized sunglasses and accessories—designed for performance, everyday style, and durability.

On Valentine’s Day, we shared the love at PAWject Runway—including the lucky winner of our BEX® raffle basket! We hope you enjoy your new high-quality eyewear, perfect for equestrian sports, outdoor adventures, and everyday life. But most importantly, thank you for supporting this cause. Our fur friends need us.

The raffle basket was packed with BEX® must-have gear and essentials, including three standout sunglass styles—Fynnland X Black/Gray, Ranger Lite Black/Gold, and Porter Gold/Brown. Alongside these sleek shades, the basket featured Premium BEX® 100% Beef Jerky, custom BEX® Marled Socks, a cap from our latest 2025 Cap Collection, and a pair of high-quality BEX® Roping Gloves. A perfect mix of style, function, and Western spirit!
