A note from our CEO Chris Winter as we kick off our Spring Fundraiser:
Spring on the Outer Banks. What an exceptional time β filled with hope and renewal. It is during this season that we see foals appearing out of the marshes, taking their first steps as heirs to the extraordinary history of the wild Banker horses. That history is what gets renewed each and every spring here on the beaches in Corolla. We are all privileged to share in this annual ritual, and we stand determined to ensure that future generations have this same opportunity.
With this in mind, today we kick off our Annual Spring Fundraiser. It is my hope that you will join us through the end of May on a special journey with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.
Our journey is going to start up on the beach, where foals are now making themselves known. We are going to share with you how we manage and protect the wild herd. We are going to soar above the crashing waves and wind-swept marshes to give you our vision for preserving the natural habitat of the horses for decades to come.
Our journey will then take us to the Betsy Dowdy Equine Center in Grandy (the farm) where those horses that have been removed from the wild live and thrive in a very special sanctuary. While at the farm, you will get an up-close look at how we fulfill our mission through daily farm life, equine research and so much more.
As we close the Spring Fundraiser, you will travel into the heart of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Once there, we will take you on a tour of the many ways that you can engage with us and impact the work of the Fund today and on into the future. You will see clearly how your financial support makes all of this happen.
The best news is that you can make this entire journey with us from the comfort of your own home; there are no bags to pack. By following us on Facebook and Instagram, and receiving our email, you have punched your ticket to take this spring-time trip to the Northern Outer Banks. From today through the end of May, you get the front-row seat!
