We measure our success every day in small but exciting steps. Success is obvious when we see a participant who is struggling with physical, emotional or cognitive disabilities achieve one more step or as we say in the horse industry…one more stride! Our nationally accredited program, amazing volunteers, certified staff, and phenomenal horses make Circle of Hope noteworthy in its efforts to provide the very best services in equine assisted activities and therapies. We provide a safe, positive and goal oriented programming and we are very proud of our accomplishments!

Success is also measured by the health of the program. While the work at Circle of Hope is hard and challenging for our participants, it is also FUN! We will continue to serve individuals with disabilities ranging from autism, brain trauma, cerebral palsy and neuromuscular difficulties. For every session, Circle of Hope contributes over half the cost for each session. Over 60 % of the participants on our waiting list are seeking full financial support.

We cannot assume that others will take care of us. Your participation is most imperative! What is important is not how much you give, but that you give! If all you can do is a few dollars, then please do that. If you are able to contribute more, your donation this year is more important than ever before. In 2009, we have had to “do more with less” as budgets are tightened and resources diminish.

I hope you will continue to make Circle of Hope a priority of your philanthropic giving and donate whatever you can to ensure that Circle of Hope’s financial future remains strong. Your ongoing and generous support helps to sustain our excellent program. Every gift - whatever the amount - is sincerely appreciated and will truly make a difference.

Your support enables Circle of Hope to continue to meet the goals of providing a much needed, high quality and cost effective equine assisted activities and therapies program in the Mid-Atlantic region including our traditional therapeutic riding and hippotherapy programs. To continue to "change lives", we are dependent on the support and generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations that make up our vibrant community. Our participants thank you for your support.
