Winslow just received a $3,000 grant from the Woman's Leadership Fund! This grant will go towards a program Winslow will open to the female volunteers and riders focusing on how society and culture shapes their self image. The Woman's Leadership Fund is affiliated with United Way and raised $14,000 in grant money to support organizations who work with woman and girls including the Literacy Volunteers of Western Orange County, Safe Homes, McQuade Children Services, and YWCA Orange County.
Winslow hosted the press conference in our indoor arena on Thursday, February 19th. All of the grant recipients including local media and United Way affiliates attended. It was a very inspiring day seeing all the great programs the organizations are working hard on in order to help improve the lives of local girls.
One of Winslow's horses, Lily, was on hand for the festivities standing behind the speaker's podium and giving her thanks in neighs!
