Now the women who run the organization are looking to expand those opportunities even further. They’ve entered the Newman’s Own Challenge, a friendly competition among 501(c)(3) non-profits to raise money and raise awareness of their organizations. The challenge began on Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 31 via the fundraising platform Crowdrise.
“Our work introducing people to the wonders of communicating with horses and learning about the environmental intricacies of southern Marin can be greatly expanded with your support,” says Leida Schoggen, Ocean Riders of Marin’s board president.
The challenge is part of Newman’s Own Foundation, which was founded by the late actor Paul Newman to continue his philanthropic legacy. The Foundation turns all net profits and royalties from the sale of Newman’s Own food and beverage products into charitable donations.
Ocean Riders’ participation in the challenge is the next step in an effort to build an arena to host children year-round at its home, the Golden Gate Dairy Stables within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in Muir Beach. The staff and board of directors own the 15 horses living in the stable and manage the facility.
