This week (Feb 24–27) at Mitey Riders is our Annual Volunteer Appreciation Week! Over the years, we have had hundreds — literally, hundreds — of volunteers take part in Mitey Riders as individuals, families, businesses and local youth groups. Volunteers are an integral part to the success of Mitey Riders. Without dedicated, weekly volunteers, Mitey Riders would not be able to help as many children as we do each year. Below are some facts about the valuable hours donated by volunteers…
Our Mitey Riders benefit from:
• Over 250 volunteer hours each week
• Over 50 hours each week volunteered by students earning high school or scouting service hours
• Over 6,750 volunteer hours each season
• Over 2,100 hours volunteered by parents of our riders
• Over 100 hours volunteered by Church and School groups
• Over 1,200 hours volunteered by individuals and groups on projects and tasks outside of normal riding class hours each year
RIDERS & FAMILIES — Please take a moment to thank your wonderful volunteers this week, and every week moving forward. It is because of them that we can continue to offer high quality therapeutic riding to a large number of children and teens in our community.
VOLUNTEERS — Thank you for all that you do and all that are!
A big thank you to Heather Lopina and the Volunteer Appreciation Committee of the Mitey Rider Council.
