Happy February, Affinity Ranch Family,
With February being the month of love, I find myself reflecting on all the reasons I am so grateful for and deeply connected to Affinity Ranch.
Our Staff are an extraordinary group of individuals who bring their whole hearts to this mission every day. Our team is made up of paid employees, contractors, supported employees, and volunteer staff, creating a uniquely inclusive and collaborative environment. This diversity brings perspective, insight, and depth to our work and strengthens the way we serve our community.
Our Volunteers are among the most generous people I know. They give their time, energy, and talents so freely to support our programs, care for our animals, and help maintain our facility. Simply put, Affinity Ranch would not exist without them.
Our Clients are the reason we do this work. We are honored to walk alongside each individual and family, celebrating progress, big and small, and sharing in their journeys.
Our Caregivers are the unsung heroes. Your tireless advocacy and love for your family members often go unseen by the world, but here at Affinity Ranch, we see you. We celebrate you, and we are always here to support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need additional resources or encouragement.
Our Herd continues to inspire me daily. Through their gentle nature and calming presence, our horses, goats, bunnies, and other animals provide quiet yet profound service. They help foster confidence, physical strength, emotional regulation, and healing for so many. Each animal plays a role, and together they create something truly special.
Our Sponsors and Donors make all of this possible. Your generosity, often given quietly behind the scenes, never ceases to amaze me. Affinity Ranch could not function without your belief in our mission and your willingness to invest in it.
Our Board of Directors, thank you for your leadership, guidance, and unwavering support. Your commitment strengthens our organization and makes my role as Executive Director both easier and deeply rewarding.
I truly feel blessed to be surrounded by people and animals who are committed to making the world a more compassionate and inclusive place. Together, we are creating Unbridled Possibilities every single day.
As we look ahead, it’s hard to believe that we are already beginning to plan for our Second Annual Ponies with Purpose Gala in 2026. If you are interested in joining our gala planning committee, we would love to hear from you. We are seeking support with marketing, auction item procurement, sponsorship outreach, event logistics, and more.
