Why Bit-By-Bit Fundraises...

 Bit-By-Bit Fundraises each year in order to provide financial scholarship and subsidies to our clients. Many of our riders would not get the help that they need without Bit-By-Bit providing the service free of charge or at a drastically reduced cost. In 2010, we provided our special clients with $46,000 in scholarships and subsidies.

 Also in 2010, we served 3,119 riders that are qualified medicaid recepients or 72% of our program.

We also hold some events specifically designated to our "Horses For Heroes" Veterans Rehabilitation program where 100% of the revenue is restricted to that program so that we provide therapy for absolutely FREE to our proud servicemen and women.

It is very important to us that the families that we work with participate in all of our events. We are constantly looking for volunteers to help recruit donations, corporate sponsors, prizes, gift baskets, merchandise certificiates or to come and help the day of the event. Please call us if you are interested in helping or in purchasing tickets to the events!

If you work with a civic group, school, girl / boy scout troop, or religous organization that would like to run a fundraiser for Bit-By-Bit we would be happy to speak with you!
