Foundations and Granting Makers
Before we let you go any further we just want to say
Thank You for Changing Lives!
Peter and Andrea have grown up together at High Hopes. Their families met while watching their children ride for the first time, and have provided support to each other ever since. Their siblings have participated in summer camp, their parents’ employers have supported sponsored fundraising events, their co-workers have taken volunteering field trips, their school friends have been to watch them at Horse Show Days, and Andrea has done demonstrations for our Sponsors to see the impact of their donations.
