Your Gift to PATH Intl. Could Help Disaster Relief for Many

Denver-While this time of year we normally think of flowers starting to peek through the ground, there are some PATH Intl. Centers that are mucking out mud that was left from damaging floods. Hurricanes, floods and wildfires earlier last summer and into the fall and winter made for tight expenses. For many centers, the financial uncertainties of opening centers after these natural disasters is heartbreaking.

When we hear about disasters on the news, our heartfelt response is often, “What can I do to help?” The PATH Intl. Disaster Relief Fund answers that question. The fund assists PATH Intl. Member Centers in good standing with an immediate need in meeting expenses not normally covered by operating insurance after natural or manmade catastrophic disasters. These include hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, floods, fire and drought.

PATH Intl. has been able to help so many rebuild, clean up and get a new start. But there is more we can do, more assistance we can give.

Your gift will help centers rebuild what was lost. Click here to donate. To learn more about the disaster relief fund, click here.

What better way to help these centers, staff, volunteers, participants and horses look forward to those spring flowers. Thank you for your generosity.
