Dear Affinity Ranch Family,
April has been a season full of energy, connection, and celebration. It is hard to believe the end of the school year is already upon us. For those of you celebrating graduations and milestones, congratulations. We truly enjoy hearing about the accomplishments of our clients and their families, please continue to share these special moments with us. We recognize that these achievements often reflect an extraordinary level of perseverance, dedication, and support, and we are honored to be a small part of each journey.
This month, we had the opportunity to celebrate one of the most important pillars of Affinity Ranch, our volunteers. Their generosity of time and spirit makes our programs possible. Whether supporting Adaptive Horsemanship and Equine Assisted Physical Therapy sessions, caring for our animals, or assisting with ongoing property improvements, they show up in all conditions with unwavering commitment. Their impact cannot be overstated, and we are deeply grateful for each and every one of them. Happy Volunteer Appreciation Month to the absolute BEST!
I also had the privilege of introducing several new businesses to the ranch this past month. It is always meaningful to watch someone experience our work for the first time. Seeing their understanding deepen as they witness both the science and the profound magical impact of equine-assisted services. Expanding awareness within our community and building a strong network of support is essential as we continue working to serve the many individuals currently on our waitlist. If you or someone you know may be interested in learning more or exploring ways to partner with us, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and provide a tour.
Planning for our Ponies with Purpose Gala continues to move forward, and we are excited about what lies ahead. If you are interested in supporting this event through sponsorships, auction item donations, or outreach, please contact us at fundraising@affinityranch.org. We are especially seeking unique experiences, vacation stays, airline miles, hotel points, or other high-value items that will help us create an engaging and successful event.
As we move into these final weeks of the school year, I hope you are able to enjoy the season. Spring is here, even if the weather occasionally suggests otherwise. We look forward to a wonderful summer ahead.
