Monthly Charity
Our community is important to us and through the years we have supported local charities and causes. In late 2009 we decided to take this even further and actively support a specific charity each month. Gilles matches your donations dollar for dollar, and 100% of the monies we collect go to the charity. Due to the generous contributions from our wonderful and caring customers and those from Gilles, this program has been a terrific success. Thank you for helping us give back to those in need in our community!
If you have a suggestion for a charity for us to highlight, please let us know by using this link. When choosing a charity we focus on those that help people directly and have administrative costs of 10% or less.
The Monthly Charity for July is Riding with Angels. Find out more about their great work at https://www.ridingwithangelswi.org/.
Riding with Angels, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, exists to present and model Christian principles by teaching the values of relationships, teamwork, trust, and integrity. Their programs primarily focus on youth 7 to 18, who might not otherwise get to experience the healing wonder of working with horses. The ranch offers a horsemanship program that is particularly effective for youth who face adversity or the challenges of inner city living.
They rescue horses that have been abused, neglected, or are in need of a loving home to retire. Their goal is to rehabilitate those beautiful animals and engage them in their equestrian programs. In doing so, they provide a place for these horses and youth to foster hope and healing that will change their lives forever!
If you are a teacher, therapist, club, or an organization that is interested in engaging your participants in their programs, please reach out to them. They would welcome the opportunity to share the wonderful healing powers of riding horses.
