Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis,
Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and
medical communities around the world. No family ever pays for
treatments not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are
never asked to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its

The North American Riding for the Handicapped
Association is a national non-profit that changes and enriches lives by
promoting excellence in equine assisted activities. NARHA promotes the
benefit of the horse for individuals with and without physical,
emotional and learning disabilities. For individuals with special
needs, equine-assisted activities have been shown to improve muscle
tone, balance, posture, coordination, motor development, as well as
emotional well-being. NARHA was formed in 1969 to promote equine
assisted activities. With over 700 member centers, a total of more than
38,600 children and adults find a sense of independence through
involvement with horses. In addition to horseback riding, a center may
offer any
number of equine assisted activities such as driving, vaulting, trail
riding, competition, ground work, or stable management. There are more
than 29,000 volunteers, 1,900 instructors, 5,800 therapy equines, and
thousands of contributors from all over the world making a difference
in people's lives at NARHA centers. Visit us at www.NARHA.org to make a donation and

Equestrian Federation
Disaster Relief Fund
In preparation for the future the USEF is starting a permanent
USEF Equine Disaster Relief Fund and requests contributions from
individuals and organizations. Formation of this fund is consistent
with the USEF mission to help ensure the safety and well-being of
horses.
Money donated to the USEF Equine Disaster Relief Fund will be
used to prepare for disasters and assist equids of any breed who are
victims of disasters including but not restricted to hurricanes,
tornadoes, floods, blizzards and fires. The money will be held by USEF
in an account restricted for this purpose and disbursed only upon
authorization of the USEF Chief Executive Officer. The USEF is a
non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
Donations can also be made online by credit card at www.usef.org. On the
