Description

Nature’s Edge Therapy Center is a nonprofit organization located in Rice Lake, WI.  At Nature’s Edge, we engage nature's calming beauty and the human-animal bond to take speech, occupational and physical therapies to a new level.  Nestled on a beautiful 65-acre ranch in the heart of northwest Wisconsin, our program combines traditional treatment methods with innovative rehabilitative techniques such as hippotherapy (equine/horse-assisted therapy), horticulture therapy and animal-assisted therapy, all provided by licensed therapists with practical, comprehensive goals in mind.  We specialize in children and young adults with autism, brain injury and cerebral palsy; however, we treat a wide range of disorders and patients of all ages.  We also have a unique, one of a kind in the country, intensive therapy program for autism, where families live and work together at our ranch for up to one week to achieve real breakthroughs in communication, independence and life skills.  Our mission is to provide the highest quality of intensive rehabilitation by qualified and licensed staff to our clients and their families in a safe, natural and motivational setting, promoting the human-animal bond.  Our ultimate goal is to facilitate our clients’ independence and integration into family, school, and society.

 

“The Evening in Elegance Gala” will take place on January 17, 2020 in Rice Lake, WI.  The event entails a four course dinner, orchestra, live and silent auctions.  The gala hosts 200 attendees ranging from business professionals, previous and current clients’ families, and influential members of our organization and community.  Sponsors and donors in the past include Disney World, Minnesota Twins Baseball, Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball, Milwaukee Brewers Baseball, Green Bay Packers Football, and many other organizations including local businesses in Wisconsin and Minnesota. We promote all of our donors throughout the event by listing them on our program, announcing them during our live and silent auctions, promoting donors on social media, listing them in the newspaper, and exhibiting their signs and brochures.  The money raised at the event will assist us in providing physician referred physical, occupational, and speech therapy for children and adults who have difficulty paying for these services.
