The Charities
Launched in late 2017, Cold Capital Fund provides financial assistance to DC/MD/VA chemotherapy patients who want to prevent hair loss using scalp cooling/cold caps but cannot afford it. Hair loss is the most devastating side effect of chemotherapy. Nearly 10% of cancer patients will opt out of treatment because of it and over 50% of cancer patients consider hair loss the most traumatic aspect of chemotherapy. Now FDAcleared, scalp cooling works. Yet, the technology is not covered by insurance and remains expensive. It’s out of reach for many cancer patients

We provide therapeutic riding and equine-assisted therapy to children and adults with physical, intellectual, development, and behavioral challenges. We don’t only touch lives but we change lives one hoofbeat at a time. Handling and riding horses instill confident, energy control, and self-esteem all aspects usually missing in the lives’ of people dealing with disabilities. Our “at-risk” students return to regular school settings and are able to live with their parents and families instead of residential facilities.
