Description

     Graz'n Acres has continued to safely provide services for people with diabilities and at-risk youth with protocols and sanitation. We are the only services many of our students are receiving. We hope you will partner with us to continue these services by supporting our online Annual Benefit Auction on April 30, 2022.

     Your donation of an item or certificate to auction goes directly to support the servicesfor our special students. This is our major fundraising event and raises 40% of our yearly budget. While typically in person, we know that many of our past attendees will support the virtual auction due to the pandemic.

     In appreciation, your company and donation will be prominently listed with the item when it goes up for bid. We also include your logo if provided. Best of all, donations are tax deductible and we will senf you a donation receipt for your records with our thank you.

     The center offers a therapeutic horseback riding program, driving program, and an at risk program for youth with behavioral disorders and that have been suspended or expelled from school. We will serve 50-75 students in 2022 with physical, intellectual, learning, and emotional disabilities. They partner with 9 specially trained horses and a dedicated group of 40 volunteers each week. Our students are from the Cities of Franklin and Suffolk, the Counties of Isle of Wight, Southhampton, and Sussex, as well as surrounding areas of Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina. 

     We hope our special work is worthy of your support. Remember, our students are capable of great things, they just need the opportunity to succeed!
