On Aug. 27, Lakewood Ranch-Sarasota Elks Lodge #2855 donated $2,000 to Hooves with H.E.A.R.T., an organization that provide supports and hope to individuals with special needs through riding therapies. Lodge members had a great time visiting with the kids and meeting the riding therapists, parents and Tilly, one of the therapy horses. They were also presented with a thank you picture board as a gift from the entire group.
Lodge member Sarah Davis, back right, presented the check to Danielle Curtis, middle. The funds were raised from a breakfast and vender fair held in the lodge in June.
