LEXINGTON, Ohio – The 6th annual Heart of Ohio Fashion Dash 5K Run/Walk took place April 18 along the B&O Bike Trail in Lexington, sponsored by Leadership Unlimited Alumni and KeyBank. Proceeds from this year’s event totaled $2,000 for the Hooves for Heroes Veterans Program at Raemelton.
Hooves for Heroes provides Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) to active, inactive, and retired veterans and their families. Raemelton, in partnership with the Veterans Administration in Mansfield, has recently expanded this program to provide Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) to veterans.
According to Tara Corrigan, Raemelton Director of Operations, proceeds from the Fashion Dash will provide assistance for nine veterans.
