Wish List - 2011

SunCatcher Therapeutic Riding Academy is funded primarily from donations, fundraising events, grants and corporate gifts. We charge a modest fee for service, which does not begin to cover our costs. We must rely on the generosity of donors to help defray the cost of our therapeutic program ­ donations of time, equipment and money are greatly appreciated (and tax deductible!).

Volunteers are needed to assist with side walking, lead lining, instructing, grooming/tacking, fundraising and grant writing. Volunteer professional consultants are being sought in various fields.

Volunteers are always welcome!
