On #GivingTuesday, here's a way to give back

Support Those Who Have Given So Much

In 2012, GivingTuesday was created as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Those who love and support GAIT and its mission to improve the quality of life for children and adults with special needs through equine activities and therapies have demonstrated time and time again, especially throughout this pandemic, what generosity looks like. Now, we ask that you give once more to support a segment of our community that embodies the concept of selflessness.

Horses 4 Heroes at GAIT serves veterans, first responders, law enforcement officers, and their families. These are men and women whose work demands that they run toward danger and disaster instead of turning away. Their willingness to risk sacrifice defines them - but it also costs them.

As a result of their work, some veterans, first responders, and law enforcement officers need help reconnecting with their families and society. Some need help recovering from PTSD, fatigue, burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress. GAIT's Horses 4 Heroes program provides them with free 10-week sessions of equine activities and/or equine-facilitated counseling to support their needs.

This GivingTuesday, please consider donating to support Horses 4 Heroes at GAIT. Funding for this important program is way below its normal levels for this time of year as a result of pandemic-related closures and cancellations. We need your help to ensure that we can continue helping those who have made such great efforts on our behalf. Giving is not just about making a donation, it is about making a difference. Please take a moment to give generously to Horses 4 Heroes today.
