We are looking for someone who might be able to donate sky miles for one round trip for SouthWest Airlines so that we can send 2 instructors to the International PATH conference this October. This educational opportunity is what continues to grow our instructors and OTR into the best center in the area! Please contact us if anyone is able to help donate sky miles towards a round trip ticket to Florida and back!
WE HAVE CONCRETE!! Lots of progress made this week on our new North Park Subaru at Dominion barn expansion!!
Saw the first day of construction & can’t wait to see the final product!
This is so awesome!!
Looking Good!!!
Thanks to North Park Subaru at Dominion we broke ground on our expansion of The Subaru Barn this week! This is such an exciting addition and so needed for our facility! It will include housing for 4 more equines, helping us to expand services to our community and those on our waiting list and get rid of all the extension cords running across to bring boxfans power to keep the horses cool. As well as a AC & heated indoor classroom for bad weather days and 2 offices to keep things running!! By adding this addition it will also allow us to utilize our current 1 small shared office for 4 people as a place for our volunteers to rest, visit and cool off or warm up depending on the season! Having such a dedicated community partnership with this incredible dealership is life changing for our participants and all involved with our programs. Without their support we would not be where we are today and able to serve so many special needs individuals in our community! Thank you North Park Subaru at The Dominion, we are so grateful for your giving hearts! ❤️ Stay posted for updates as the building continues!
