Gateway Family Services of Illinois and Hooves of Hope are two 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that share property in Potomac, Illinois. These two programs offer unique and innovative services to children and families.

Gateway Family Services of Illinois is a team of licensed mental health professionals who have a unique, systemic and comprehensive approach to help individuals and families heal from past trauma, discover healthy ways to manage present challenges and prepare for a healthier, happier future. Services include trauma focused-equine assisted psychotherapy, EMDR, play, art, sand & nature therapies.

Hooves of Hope is a volunteer-driven, faith-based mentoring program where children are partnered with a wrangler and a horse to learn basic horsemanships skills while working on relationships with themselves, their wranglers and God.

This event is to replace the many in-person fundraising events that had to be canceled due to COVID-19. The funds will be utilized to ensure that finances are never a barrier for an individual seeking services as well as to ensure our horses' many needs are met.
