Annual Appeal

We’ve wrapped our Annual Appeal and we greatly appreciate the generous support we have received. Proceeds from the appeal will go towards funding the programs at Main Stay. Program fees cover less than 15% of our actual costs. We rely on you, our donors, to cover the rest. We are so grateful you understand the need for our services and the impact our therapeutic riding and horsemanship, equine and animal-assisted and adaptive garden programs have on the community.
