The power of community in action.

The One Valley Foundation was proud to present a grant to Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Center, an organization helping to elevate and empower kids and adults with disabilities through therapeutic horseback riding.

All of this made possible by the generosity of our Firebirds fans.

Congratulations @kimwaltrip - so well deserved! It was such a joy celebrating you!

@dsrtpix9300 and I met Kim over 10 years ago while volunteering together for #DesertSpirit @americancancersociety #gala while she was the co-gala chair with @renaemadore under advisory of @psmelissan.

Since then, through my work with
@leadershipcv @desertsandsef @readwithmevolunteerprograms I’ve had the honor of calling on her a few times 😉 — and every time, she’s shown the same generosity and leadership that make her such a standout in our community.

Thank you, Kim, for all that you do to make the desert shine!
