#GIVINGTUESDAY
What is #GivingTuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global movement for giving and volunteering taking place each year after Black Friday. The opening day of the giving season, is a time when charities, companies, and individuals join together and rally for favorite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday.
OUR MISSION
Robinson Outreach at RiverCross Ranch strives to relieve the conditions associated with youth-at-risk and seniors in need, by providing Equine Assisted Learning and related activities.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DONORS AND SPONSORS
ABOUT US
The Robinson family has deep roots in the Springbank community and take pride in their generous contributions to this area for many decades. This long-time ranching family is now fulfilling a dream that will allow others to share in the beauty of their Springbank ranch. The ROARR foundation is doing exactly that – sharing the family’s blessings with others that are not as fortunate. ROARR's headquarters are located at RiverCross Ranch, on the Robinson’s Val Vista Ranch property just west of the Springbank High School.

TESTIMONIALS
M. Elder, Parent of Participants
"The differences in my children after completing this program are enormous. They were able to support their horse through new challenges, while regulating their feelings so that the horse was comfortable and could succeed. They became more aware of their surroundings and how their energy influenced others. It made them less focused on themselves and more focused on their environment and the people/animals around them. It built their confidence as they felt like leaders helping their horses. They physically relaxed every time they entered the area where the horses were. This learning has continued to impact them and has provided them with more tools to help them cope and thrive every day."
Pat Provost, Piikani First Nation Elder and Horse Spirit Elder Advisor
"Not only will this opportunity help break down the barriers, biases and prejudice that we face in the conduct of the Horse Spirit programming, but it will allow both Horse Spirit and ROARR to formally expand our reach to include youth from diverse cultural backgrounds including those living on and off-reserve."
Jamie Gramlich - Clinician with Wood’s Homes
"In this setting, they have found safety, mastery, meaning, and belonging. We feel incredibly grateful to be able to be offered these opportunities for these youth who would otherwise, not have access to them. For many of them, it is one of the most healing parts of their time with Wood’s."
T. Sieben- Multi Agency School Support Team (MASST)
"The customized Camps that ROARR has offered to children from the Multi Agency School Support Team (MASST) has been one of the best additions to our Spring and Summer programs to date. We have seen the positive impacts which come from Equine Assisted Learning and the feedback from our kids & families has been extremely positive. We hope to continue or collaboration with ROARR well into the future!"
