Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Academy (HETRA, hetra.org) asks you to save the date for this year’s Drive to Ride Fun Run happening Saturday, October 15 at the HETRA Barn, 10130 222nd St. in Gretna. Beginning at 8 a.m., participants can walk or run either a 2K or 5K route.
This in-person event will kick off the 2022 Drive to Ride Campaign, where 100% of the funds raised will go directly towards their Participant Sponsorship Fund. Drive to Ride is an online fundraising campaign, led by families who come to HETRA for services. From October through December, these amazing families help raise funds in honor of their participant to help build HETRA’s Participant Sponsorship Fund.
In 2022, HETRA experienced a 72% increase in requests for financial assistance from participant families. HETRA works year-round to ensure that their programs are affordable for all participants, regardless of their financial situation. Drive to Ride and the incredible families they serve helps HETRA meet this goal.
Heartland Equine Therapeutic Riding Academy’s mission is to improve the quality of life both physically and emotionally of adults and children of all ability levels through equine-assisted activities. To learn more, contact Kalynn Sortino at (402) 359-8830 / hetra@hetra.org or visit hetra.org.
