🎁 Giving Tuesday: A Day to Transform Lives at Partners for Progress 🎁

Giving Tuesday is a day when kindness becomes momentum, generosity becomes possibility, and when a single act of giving can change the course of a life.

At Partners for Progress, we witness emotional moments every single day, moments that stay with you long after you’ve left the barn. A child sitting tall for the first time. A client making a connection they’ve never made before. A rider taking a step toward independence. A volunteer stepping beside someone who needs a steady hand and a steady heart.

These aren’t small moments. They’re life-changing breakthroughs built through courage, compassion, community, and the belief that every person deserves a place to learn and thrive. And these moments only happen because people like you choose to support this mission.

As we step into 2026, our most ambitious and transformative year yet, we need your help to ensure that every rider, every family, and every volunteer continues to experience the growth and breakthrough moments that make PFP a home for so many.

Today, on Giving Tuesday, we invite you to stand with us.
To lift up the riders who give everything they have every time they step into the arena.
To fuel the volunteers who pour their hearts into every stride and every session.
To empower the families who trust us with their most vulnerable hopes.
To support the horses who carry this mission on their backs.

If Partners for Progress has touched your life in any way...today is the day to give back.

Today, our hearts are full. ♥️
On this Thanksgiving day, we pause to acknowledge the people who make Partners for Progress what it truly is, a place of purpose, connection, growth, and transformation.

To the families who entrust us with your loved ones:
Thank you for your courage, your faith in our mission, and your belief in the power of equine therapy. 🐎

To the volunteers who give your hands, your time, and your hearts:
Thank you for showing up for every stride, every breakthrough, and every quiet moment of encouragement. You turn challenges into milestones. 🌟

To the friends and supporters who stand beside us year after year:
Thank you for fueling the momentum behind our programs, our horses, and our clients. Your generosity strengthens our entire foundation. 🤝

To our community:
Thank you for seeing the beauty in inclusion, dignity, and perseverance, and for recognizing that progress is built together. 💪

This year, we have witnessed transformation in many forms: a first independent step in the arena, a new word spoken, a friend made, a goal reached. These moments may look small, but to us, they carry the weight of hope. And every single one of them is the result of a village that cares.

There is a spirit at PFP that cannot be measured, only felt. And on days like this, it feels especially strong. 💚

From all of us at Partners for Progress: Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
May today be filled with gratitude, joy, and the reminder that when hearts come together, progress follows. ☺️

'Tis the Season of Giving! 🎉

One easy way to support our Partners for Progress this Giving Season is by purchasing items directly from our Amazon Wish List. Every single item helps our staff and volunteers care for our riders, our horses, and the spaces where progress is made. 🌟

With Black Friday right around the corner, please remember that a big impact doesn’t always require a big gift. Sometimes it’s a bottle of shampoo, a pack of gloves, or one piece of adaptive equipment that creates a breakthrough moment. 🛍️

Our volunteers give generously every single week.
They give their time. ⏰
They give their energy. ⚡️
They give their hearts. 💚
They give, and they don’t ask for anything in return.

But the truth is this: their generosity can only go as far as our resources allow. Keeping the lights on, securing the necessary equipment and supplies, sustaining our programs…That part belongs to all of us.

If you’ve ever been inspired by what happens at Partners for Progress, if you’ve ever seen a breakthrough in our arena, if you’ve ever witnessed the impact of a volunteer’s kindness, then we invite you to support us as we close out 2025.

This Giving Season, stand with our volunteers:
Match their generosity with your own.

Behind every handmade gift at our Occupational Life Skills (OLS) Market is a story of growth, determination, and independence. 🌟

Our OLS Program is a launch pad for success.

Each product they create is filled with pride and purpose, a reflection of their journey toward confidence and greater independence.

When you shop the OLS Market after Thanksgiving, you’re doing more than finding heartfelt gifts; you’re making a real difference. From our famous PFP pretzels to handcrafted treasures and brand-new PFP merch featuring some of our beloved herd members, every purchase directly supports Partners for Progress and the transformative programs that change lives each day. 💚

We can't wait to see you there!

🎃🐴 Happy Halloween from Partners for Progress! 👻✨

This week, our barn transformed into a spooktacular celebration as riders trick-or-treated around the stalls, collecting candy, stickers, and smiles along the way! Each horse’s stall was decked out with festive treats, and our riders showed up in the most adorable costumes. 🧙‍♀️

It’s always a joy to see our riders’ creativity and confidence shine in every costume and every smile! Happy Halloween! 🧡
