Athelas Therapeutic Riding to Participate in Mohawk Valley Gives on September 20th

OTHER, N.Y. - Sept. 5, 2024 - PRLog -- Otsego County, NY – Athelas Therapeutic Riding, Inc. is excited to announce our participation in the upcoming Mohawk Valley Gives event on September 20th, 2024. This regional day of giving brings together non-profit organizations from across the Mohawk Valley area in a friendly competition to raise much-needed funds, and we are calling on our community for support.

Athelas Therapeutic Riding has been a cornerstone of our community for years, offering life-changing equine therapy to individuals of all ability levels. One of our remarkable riders, who has been with us for nearly a decade, was able to ride before she could even walk. Through our program, she developed critical core strength, helping her to take those first steps. Stories like hers are a testament to the power of equine therapy, and it's why we continue to do what we do.

However, we face significant challenges. Our outdoor arena needs new fencing to provide a safe space for more independent ride time, and our scholarship fund, which helps ease the financial burden for families with medically complicated riders, is depleted. With your support during Mohawk Valley Gives, we aim to raise $5,000 to meet these essential needs.

"Mohawk Valley Gives is more than just a fundraising event; it's an opportunity for our community to come together and make a real difference in the lives of those who rely on our services," said Abby Costello, Instructor at Athelas Therapeutic Riding. "We've seen firsthand how equine therapy can transform lives, and with the community's support, we can continue to offer these vital programs."

We invite everyone to visit our website, http://www.ATRinc.org to learn more about our mission and how you can get involved. Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to our cause, your contribution on September 20th will help us continue to provide meaningful experiences for our riders.
