Fundraising
Located in Dansville, MI, CHUM provides year-round services to those with and without disabilities from 14 months to seniors. We specialize in therapeutic riding where the activity on and around the horse is inherently therapeutic in nature and hippotherapy, a treatment strategy utilizing equine movement and the environment to address therapeutic goals, with our occupational therapists. We serve nearly 150 riders per week, with faith, love, and hope. The amazing benefits of equine assisted services are seen throughout our communities and lives are changed.
Each year the program relies on fund raising events to help subsidize the costs of the program so the families who need these services do not bear the burden of the 'true costs' of running the program. Our events include:
With budgets of approximately $36,000 just for the feed for the horses, you can see why these events are so very very important to our ability to not just survive today but thrive for those who need us in the tomorrows to come!
We not only rely on these fundraisers to sustain the program, we also enjoy and look forward to these opportunities to spend time with the families we serve and the communities at large. Everyone is welcome at our events and the more people the better!
