Testimonials

Dear CoServ,

On behalf of Riding Unlimited, I would like to thank you for your very generous grant of $10,000 on December 14, 2010 supporting our therapeutic riding and carriage driving program. Your commitment to helping individuals with various physical, emotional or mental challenges is highly valued.

Through our therapeutic horsemanship and carriage driving programs we have seen many lives changed for the better. This past year many of our riders and drivers have competed in events, receiving exceptional recognition. They have shown all of us and others the improvements made in their skills and their ability to deal with various new situations which are fantastic accomplishments. The success of our program is due to our incredible team of instructors, volunteers, and at the heart of the program our wonderful horses resulting in rider and driver achievements.

Our mission of improving sequencing abilities, memory utilization, balance, posture, muscle tone, self-esteem, motor skills and social interaction of our riders; in addition, our carriage drivers improve hand/eye coordination and spatial awareness. Carriage driving is unique in that it offers people who cannot ride the opportunity to participate in an equine activity. The goal of Riding Unlimited is to continue making a difference in the lives of challenged individuals by improving their abilities and bringing pleasure in attaining goals.
With your grant, we will continue making improvements to our program with the expansion of methods of teaching, good equipment, excellent facilities and maintaining a superior herd of therapy horses. Your grant will be used for very necessary projects at the ranch. We wish that you could see the enthusiasm, joy and pride riders show when they achieve a goal or new skill. If you are in our area, please feel free to stop by and see us.

Thanks again for your generous support for our efforts to improve special individuals’ abilities.

Sincerely,
Barry R. Werner
President, Board of Directors
Riding Unlimited, Ponder

Dear CoServ,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, campers and staff of Camp Summit, I thank CoServ Charitable Foundation for the grant given in support of our HVAC replacement project. Camp Summit is honored to be the recipient of the good will of your customers and applauds the CoServ Charitable Foundation for what is being accomplished in the community.

We enjoyed visiting with you at camp and showing you the impact of your partnership. Because of your generosity, Camp Summit was able to purchase and install two HVAC systems for our camp lodge. This repair will ensure that we can provide a comfortable environment, year-round, for our campers with disabilities who use our camping programs.

Thank you for your continued support and being a friend of Camp Summit. Your partnership is vital in helping us provide campers with disabilities with the opportunity to try new adventures and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Sincerely,
Carla R. Weiland
Chief Executive
Camp Summit
