Stable and Equipment Lost to Fire - help needed!

The Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program lost their barn to fire on July 20! 

  

The horses are safe and have found temporary housing in some friendly stables nearby but all the equipment was lost in the fire. The program desperately needs help to replace it and continue their amazing work helping the recovery of service personnel returning from Iraq and children with disabilities.

We'll be raising money over the next few months to support their efforts. To contribute, please contact us

or visit the program Web site for more information.

 

Send your support to Virginia Tech!

Virginia GFWC members can pledge their volunteer hours in memory and support of the tragedy last year.
