According
to Graham, Modern Woodmen’s and RTT’s mission are a good fit as both seek to improve the quality
of life for our communities. “One of the ways Modern Woodmen does this is by
partnering with local nonprofits like RTT through its member volunteer
activities.”

Bronson, Executive Director stated, “This generous matching gift from Modern
Woodmen will support RTT’s clients, ages 3-93, participating in equine assisted
activities and therapies, the majority of whom receive some level of
scholarship.” According to Bronson,
hundreds of children and adults with disabilities are able to experience the
healing power of horses at RTT thanks to financial and volunteer support from
local businesses like Modern Woodmen. She went on to note, “The Triple B
celebrates the special bond between humans and horses—a bond that is especially
powerful and life changing for children and adults with disabilities! We are
fortunate to witness this every day at RTT!”
