2026 Fundraiser Letter

On behalf of the entire Scholl Community Impact Group staff, both human and horses, volunteers and students, we wish you a happy and healthy 2026.

This has been an exciting year for our organization as we continue to serve the needs of our students in the great Northwoods of Wisconsin.  As we continue offering year-round programming, providing uninterrupted equine services which is so beneficial to our participants, our program continues to grow.  Words cannot express our heartfelt gratitude to the many donors who have provided their assistance in bringing our service program to even higher levels in 2025, and continuing into the new 2026 year.  We are still in need of funds to continue supporting our educational programs, to provide for the health and wellbeing of our horse staff, maintenance of our facility, and continued development of the sensory trail on our property.

We hope you will consider:

  • Becoming a volunteer. Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization, and you can help either at the facility, at one of our fundraising events, or both!
  • A tax-deductible donation for general funding of our program.
  • A tax-deductible donation specifically to support the building maintenance fund.
  • A tax-deductible donation to develop the sensory trail.
  • Sponsor a Student – provide 1 hour lesson to a student with disabilities
  • Sponsor a Horse – choose your favorite horse and level of sponsorship. (Funds help pay for grain, hay, medications, veterinary, and farrier services, etc.)
  • A tax-deductible donation for continuing education for our certified instructors.

In addition to volunteer hours or financial contributions, we have several items on our “wants/needs” list. Please consider donating the following:

  • Synthetic Saddles (size 14 ½” )
  • Blanket rack
  • Solar lights for the sensory trail and along fencing at driveway
  • All sizes of traffic cones
  • Wood to make more cavalettis: size 4”x4” by 8’
  • Office supplies such as copy paper, pens, pencils, white out, computer ink, etc.
  • General supplies such as cleaning supplies, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, hand sanitizer, toilet cleaner, etc.

If you can help, please return the enclosed slip with your donation and/or volunteer information. We encourage you to visit our website and Facebook accounts at Scholl Community Impact Group. Please sign up for our online newsletter, “Word from the Herd” to keep in touch with what’s been happening at SCIG.

Community Impact Group would like to thank you for your support of our program.  Your generosity has and will continue to make a big impact on our area’s autistic and special needs students and will allow us to expand our programs and develop the sensory trail.  It will help us care for our horses, which are the real stars when it comes to making connections with our students, helping them achieve greater independence and self-confidence and awareness.

We truly hope to see you soon, but for now, stay safe and healthy.

Sincerely,

Everyone at Scholl Community Impact Group
