Year-End Wrap Up

Rainbow is a place where individuals with special challenges come together, and where victories — some dramatic, some modest, but all significant — are joyously celebrated.

Today we celebrate the success made possible this year by YOU and our whole community of supporters, riders, volunteers, family, friends, the Rainbow team and, of course, our equines!

Our Riders Need YOUR Help

Dear Rainbow Friends and Supporters,

Fall is the most important time for nonprofit fundraising. It determines to a great degree the plans for the new year and how to make services available to all who need them. Almost all 501c3s have active fundraising campaigns right now, and we are thrilled that you consider supporting Rainbow and our riders who benefit from our therapeutic riding programs.

Our heartfelt Year End appeal is on its way and you will receive a letter from us  in the mail or in your inbox soon. Please, help us reach our goal of $30,000 – every donation matters and your support means the world to all of us at Rainbow.

November is also the month of Giving Tuesday (also #GivingTueday) the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It is touted as a "global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world". It is a global campaign, promoted through social media to encourage online giving. It is a growing effort to garner social interest and community involvement. Rainbow is participating again and we hope you partner with us to reach our goal!

We need your help, so we can continue to save lives one hoofbeat at a time.

I would like to thank all of you, for your generosity, thoughtfulness, and support, as donors, volunteers, and participants. As a volunteer said: We don’t always have the time but we have the heart.

Inga
