It Was All About Bowling For Autism.....

Saturday April 11, 2015 was the 4th annual Bowling For Autism event. It was in Honesdale at Gravity Alley Lanes on 6th Street.

This year the fundraiser was benefitting Fair Hill Farm Riding Academy, the same farm that I attend for therapeutic riding and that I volunteer work at.

We had a lot of fun and a lot of really fun things happened, here are some of the things we did:

  • Bake Sale
  • DJ with dancing (DJ Dennis provided entertainment)
  • Raffles for a lot of prizes. 
  • Bowling (of course)
  • Lots of food to eat
  • most important- everyone had a lot of fun.
One of the things I did this year was read a acronym that my sister Kelly and I made for Fair Hill Farm, below is what we read:


F is for the fun had by all who come
A is for being amazed at what can be accomplished
I is for the interesting people you meet
R is for the respect of instructors, students and animals

H is for the horses that have a natural ability to connect with their riders
I is for integrity of therapeutic riding
L is for the riders’ love of the program
L is for the laughter shared between riders and instructors

F is for the fortunate individuals benefitting from the program
A is for acceptance of each other
R is for the riders working hard to succeed
M is for monies needed in order to continue therapeutic riding

R is for reaching goals
I is for individualized training to help each student
D is for the demonstration of different activities
I is for being included in different tasks
N is for never giving up
G is for the Goldbergs, who work hard to run this program and help the students

A is for the ability to learn from a horse
C is for the challenges faced and overcome
A is for adjusting to a change in environment and activities
D is for the determination to do better
E is for the excitement of attending Fair Hill
M is for the memories made
Y is for your support of this program by coming here today

I'm glad we raised almost $5,000 for Fair Hill Farm and the therapeutic riding program there.
