Founded in 2004, BEAMING Inc. is a nonprofit equine-assisted service organization based in Neenah, Wisconsin. BEAMING has provided over 4,000 equine experiences annually, serving children with disabilities, at-risk youth, veterans, survivors of trauma, and older adults living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s disease and their care partners. The organization’s trauma-informed programs, including the Pegasus Approach™ mental health initiative, build resilience, connection, and healing for participants of all ages. BEAMING is an accredited equine-assisted center that is PATH certified through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship.

“This event is about more than celebration, it’s about coming together as a community to make sure hope and healing remain possible for those who need it most,” said Katie Samuelson, CEO of BEAMING Inc. “Every ticket, every sponsorship, and every donation goes directly to supporting our horses and the people whose lives are changed through them.”

This year, Holiday for the Horses is made even more impactful thanks to a matching gift opportunity from Modern Woodmen of America, doubling the power of each donation. BEAMING is also inviting additional community partners to step forward as matching donors.
