Today is GiveNOLA day. Looking for GNOTRC on GiveNOLA? Sadly, we aren't listed because the system was migrated to a different platform, and Anita mistakenly assumed that all of GNOTRC's information would be moved along. It's a costly mistake, and the timing is terrible, as GNOTRC finds itself struggling financially. GNOTRC is in its 33rd year of providing therapeutic riding to children and adults with disabilities. Will you donate to GNOTRC directly in the name of the GiveNOLA campaign? Here's the link;
