For almost 50 years, the herd at Lift Me Up! Therapeutic Riding and Wellness Center has brought healing and joy to the differently-abled as well as those diagnosed with depression, self-harm, PTSD, and other disorders. It’s a special place where constraints can be forgotten and the focus is entirely on the attainable. Our therapeutic riders range from 5-years-old to seniors, and our wellness groups include first responders, veterans, mental health centers, and assisted-living residents, and mental health clients Lift Me Up!, an Equine-Assisted Program Center, has been serving the DMV for 50 years. We are dedicated to providing safe and effective therapeutic riding instruction for children and adults with varying needs and abilities. The riding and horsemanship skills taught are adapted to each rider’s cognitive, emotional, and physical ability. Our riding program incorporates progressive and innovative therapies in an inclusive setting with the result of helping differently-abled riders to sit or stand unassisted, walk independently, improve their focus and attention span, and enhance their social and communication skills. Aside from therapeutic riding, our wellness center addresses the mental health needs of first responders, veterans, and at-risk youth and adult programs treating addiction, self-harm, and eating disorder behaviors. By combining the unique presence of our 13 therapy horses, the dedication of our many volunteers, and the skills of our caring PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship) certified instructors, Lift Me Up! has helped thousands of riders and wellness participants gain confidence, strength, and self-esteem in our friendly, fun environment nestled along scenic Georgetown Pike. It’s a place where one can leave physical and mental constraints behind and simply rejoice in being alive.
. Lift Me Up! has recently begun to host organizational team building sessions - using herd behavior to teach valuable lessons…a tremendous benefit to any organization!
Our annual gala has played a vital role in sustaining operations for over a decade and this year is no exception. The revenue generated by our programs cannot begin to cover the myriad costs of our work. Horses, and their care is expensive, as is property ownership in Great Falls. We have budgeted to raise a much needed 40% of our revenue shortfall and provide an outstanding opportunity for area businesses to reach the Great Falls and McLean communities. Ocean’s 24 Casino Night and Auction is expected to reach new heights in bridging the revenue to expenses gap, while a change in venue to Trump National Golf Club will also extend our outreach to affluent Loudoun County as well. Your contributions in reaching our goal will provide support to over 400 Lift Me Up! participants each year.
