In the world today, hope is a priceless commodity. You can give hope by making a gift to CKRH which enables those challenged by disabilities to focus on what they "can" do instead of what they can't.

Each contribution matters, as it supports both ongoing and new programming. You're an important partner in our work, so please give generously.

There are many ways to help strengthen CKRH’s sustainability for our future. The only question is deciding which is the best fit for you.

Many of our clients and their families are burdened with healthcare expenses. CKRH helps where we can by keeping service fees as low as possible. Each dollar provided by a donation or grant reduces the deficit between what CKRH charges and what it actually costs us to provide an equine therapeutic session.

We provide more than 16,000 direct client service hours annually! A monthly donation plan is a great way to help us maintain this level of service. Best of all, your gift will be easily deducted from your bank account without any hassle on your part.

The Clark Family Foundation Maintenance Fund was established in 2017 as an endowment to fund and help CKRH respond to everyday barn repairs and overall facility improvements. You can help CKRH build this permanent resource by making a major gift of $1,000 or more.

Plan for the Future

Join our Legacy Society for those who want to make a long-term investment in CKRH. Planned Giving includes but is not limited to estate bequests, retirement plans, and life insurance policies. Please contact your financial advisor to discuss the best option for your gift.

BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS

Socialization is important to all ages. Whether it be with a person or an animal, time spent in the company of another being can help bring peace, calmness and a sense of security. Strong bonds are created at CKRH by participants with their horses, volunteers and instructors. Additionally, friendships can grow between the participants who attend weekly lessons together or even at one of our yearly events. Such was the case for Tina and Mary Ellen during NIGHT OF THE STARS.

Additionally, friendships can grow between the participants who attend weekly lessons together or even at one of our yearly events. Such was the case for Tina and Mary Ellen during NIGHT OF THE STARS.

Last year was Mary Ellen’s first time to ride in front of an audience! The 14-year- old is homeschooled so socialization is an important factor of her therapy plan. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Therapeutic Riding helps improve Mary Ellen’s balance and ankle strength. She rides with an adaptive left-hand glove that has Velcro to help hold the rein. She was a bit nervous prior to the big night as she was unsure what to expect.

Tina, an 18-year- old who was born with a chromosome disorder, is a seasoned performer who debuted at the 2015 gala and competed in the 2016 Special Olympics. She was able to take Mary Ellen under her wing, and the two became fast friends. The mentor/mentee friendship carries a high impact at all ages and situations.

At CKRH, we see every day how these extraordinary relationships directly impact the success of our program and the achievement of personal goals.
