Breast cancer rehab center can now receive tax-deductible donations
December 7, 2010 (Alpine)--Just in time for the holiday giving season, Dream Rider Equestrian Therapy received approval this month from the IRS to operate as a non-profit. Newly established last summer, Dream Rider seeks donations to improve facilities and to provide therapy to more breast cancer patients and survivors. Those diagnosed with cancer often lose their ability to work and therefore, cannot afford the rehabilitation they sorely need.
Dream Rider’s unique mission is to bring the proven healing power of equine-assisted therapy to breast cancer patients and survivors—and to provide that therapy in a serene, private setting, where personal dignity is respected. No other equestrian center in the country offers this service to breast cancer patients, says founder Catherine Hand, who adds that appropriate rehabilitation of any kind is uncommon, even in the breast cancer survivorship plans of most cancer treatment centers.
The mission of Dream Rider Equestrian Therapy is to enable and enhance the recovery of breast cancer survivors from the physical and emotional effects of the disease and its treatment.
