Our Annual Drive to Ride fundraising campaign supports rider financial aid, horse care, and priority programs. This year our fundraising goal is $275,000 and we need your help. Drive to Ride is a unique fundraiser that happens all online which allows for anyone to participate and make a difference in our client’s and horses’ lives!
Visit SheaCenter.org/drive to: Tell your story, Share a story, or Support a story.
Did you know that 89% of our clients receive financial aid and the cost of horse care has rocketed in the last year? Every dollar makes a difference and every story is worth sharing.
This month-long fundraising event is an opportunity for our clients, volunteers, supporters, and staff to write a story about what The Shea Center means to them and share it with their friends and family to help raise funds for the Center.
