Community Support has sustained TROT since its inception in 1974. Because rider fees comprise less than one-third of the operating budget, the generosity of community-minded corporations, foundations and individuals has made TROT a continuing reality in the lives of those with special needs. A volunteer Board of Directors, along with the staff, instructors, therapists and volunteers at TROT are committed to the organization's mission.

Even with the fantastic volunteer support we receive, the riding program is very expensive to operate. TROT spends over $1,000 per year for each rider. Rider fees make up about 30% of this cost. We must raise the rest from our annual giving campaign, special events, and grants. Great things are happening at TROT an you can be a part of the team! We need more people who care.

The Tucson Dressage Club will donate a minimum of $1,000 to TROT from the proceeds of the TDC Fall Festival Show.

You, too, can play a major role in the continued success of TROT through your tax-deductible contribution. Your support makes a critical difference.
