As we currently find ourselves living in a world that is yearning for togetherness and fellowship, we look forward to the opportunity to gather on Friday, August 6, as Wings of Hope Equitherapy hosts our annual fundraiser, Round-Up for Riders.

The event held at River Ranch in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards includes a gourmet Texas feast, cocktails, chance games, auction shopping, and music by Dan Quinn Entertainment. This party with a purpose raises the funds needed to support Wings of Hope’s vision to provide inclusion, hope, healing, and discovery for all. Our mission is to provide equine assisted activities for children and adults with unique physical, mental, or emotional challenges and disabilities.

Last year 40% of our annual operating revenue

was raised during this single event.

Now more than ever we are dependent upon the success of this event to ensure that we can continue services past Covid19 and well into our future.

New this year we are reformatting the event to include,

complimentary admittance with an opportunity to give.

We are seeking the partnership of friends and businesses in our community to underwrite and offset the cost of this event, so that all funds raised at Round-Up will directly support our horses and equestrians.

As a supporter and friend of Wings of Hope, we are contacting you to request your participation as an event sponsor and/or an event attendee. Through a variety of sponsorship levels to choose from, you and your business can be seen by guests at our event, through digital exposure to 1,000+, and a social media following of 2,000+. Choose your level of sponsorship with customizable options that best fit your needs allowing you to showcase your company and show your community support. Most importantly, the money raised through this event allows us to maintain our commitment that no individual will ever be turned away for inability to pay to partner with a horse for hope and healing. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to impact the lives of children and adults in our community with disabilities; please partner with us to reach our goal! Your donation is tax deductible!

As you may know, our Core Purpose is to provide hope and healing through gentle horses and the love of God. Our equestrians’ range in age from 3 to 90+ and have varying degrees of physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Services are offered weekly, and historically over 225 individuals are served annually. Those affected by a wide variety of disabilities such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, PTSD and so much more partner with horses to manage the daily challenges that accompany life with a disability.
