π€ π’π΄ OUR HEARTS ARE FULL β THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE BOOTS Nβ HOOVES! π΄π’π€
We had the BEST time at our Boots Nβ Hooves: Dancing for T.H.R.I.L. fundraiser on Saturday, and we are still smiling thinking about the incredible group of people who filled our arena with laughter, music, dancing, cowboy boots, and so much support for T.H.R.I.L.
You bought tickets. You brought your friends and family. You put on your boots and best western outfits. You danced. You laughed. And most importantly, you showed up for T.H.R.I.L. and our participants. We hope everyone who joined us knows just how meaningful that support truly is.
Since 2014, T.H.R.I.L. has been providing therapeutic equine-based programs for children, youth, and adults living with physical, intellectual, and emotional challenges. Today, more than 30 participants each week experience the joy, freedom, confidence, and sense of accomplishment that can come from working with one of our incredible therapy horses.
For our participants, their weekly time at T.H.R.I.L. helps improve balance, coordination, strength and mobility. For others, it's also an opportunity to build confidence, communication and social skills, experience independence, form an incredible connection with a horse, or simply have a place where they can experience success and JOY. π΄β€οΈ As a small registered charity, fundraisers like Boots Nβ Hooves matter tremendously to us.
Our goal has always been to keep our programs as affordable as possible for our participants and their families. We can only do that because people in our community choose to show up for us β through fundraising events, donations, sponsorships and volunteering.
So when you came out and danced with us on Saturday night, you weren't just buying a ticket to a line dancing event. You were supporting our horses. You were supporting our participants. You were supporting our volunteers. And you were helping T.H.R.I.L. continue doing what we love so much.
We also need to give the BIGGEST thank you to the incredibly talented Jennine Profeta! ππ€ Jennine brought so much enthusiasm, patience and FUN to our arena and somehow managed to get all of us moving in the same direction... most of the time! π We are so grateful that you shared your time and talent with us and helped make this night such a success.
To our participants, families, friends, volunteers, sponsors, supporters, and members of our community who joined us...
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP FOR T.H.R.I.L.! β€οΈ
