If Dreams Come True

Our para-driving team brought home the Silver Medal!

Can you imagine what para-drivers could do if they had a permanent training facility on their own farm?

Dressage arenas, marathon obstacles and arenas for cones course!

Premium equipment made for their disabilities?

Coaches and support staff to help them achieve their absolute fullest potential?

The funds to be able to pursue their dreams of competing on the world stage?

How great would that be?!

​It all starts with a dream!

​A HUGE Thank You to everyone that so generously donated to support the para-drivers. I wanted to share the breakdown of all the monies raised and donated to 1Boy4Change
Para Driving General Fund and Concert Monies
$3850.08
Para Driving Spring Fling CDE Support
  $14,144,12
- Spring Fling Classifiers Expenses (TBD)
Balance remaining to cover classifiers in 2024 and beyond
Para Driving General Fund
  $3850.08
-$1466.00 Para-Driver Entry Fees
$2384.08 balance available in general fund
The para-drivers would love the opportunity to represent Team USA in August at the Para-Driving World Championships, but that can only happen with your continue financial support.
To get each driver, horse, equipment and support staff to the World Championships it will cost approximately $70,000.00 per driver! Your support is critical for them to be able to compete on the world stage. 
Thank You for supporting USA para-drivers!
Thank you John of Pics Of You for always supporting para-drivers!

Update from the Veteran that received Khaos.
This is WHY I train service dogs for Veterans! Good boy SD Khaos!!!
​
"I just wanted to let you know I had a seizure on Sunday and I almost died. But Khaos knew before I even knew. He alerted me and he got me to a safe place. You were so right, I honestly didn't think anything of it until he went off. Thank you so much for giving me him, I'd honestly be lost without him..... He saved my life, thank you for giving him to me..."

​This benefit concert is not part of the Spring Fling CDE fundraiser. This fundraiser is to help the para-drivers with their expenses throughout their individual journeys - purchasing specialty equipment, offset travel expenses, show fees, and expenses associated if they make Team USA. Thank You for supporting USA para-drivers!

Sponsorship Opportunities:
First time in the USA!
​A true FEI Para-driving classification and class at the Spring Fling Combined Driving Event!
February 22-26, 2023
Fundraising Goal: $7,000.00

Your donations help cover the costs (airline tickets, housing, meals, etc.) of the additional officials needed for the para-driving event. This event will allow para-drivers the opportunity to be fully classified at the FEI level and compete in a "true" para-driving class! (Be part of USA combined driving history!) The only opportunity our para-drivers had in the past was to travel outside of the USA. Your financial support is truly appreciated by our para-driving athletes! Any funds raised and not used for the Spring Fling combined driving show will be kept in the Para-Driving Partners account to help para-drivers with equipment or other expenses in the future.

​Sponsor an obstacle and a tailgating spot during the Spring Fling carriage driving event at the Florida Horse Park. Be up close and personal to the action during the marathon! Banners can be added to the obstacle. You will have a private area for you and your friends at the obstacle that you sponsor. $1000.00

Sponsor an obstacle without a tailgating area. Banners can be added to the obstacle. $500.00

Sponsor the dressage arena. A banner can be added close to the arena. $250.00

Sponsor the cones course. A banner can be added close to the arena. $250.00

Donate $20.00 or more and have your named listed on a banner to be displayed during the show.

Thank You!
