Bringing Equine
Throughout human history, people have loved, owned and ridden horses because they silently speak to our hearts, teaching us to live in the moment. Interacting with horses can naturally bring about feelings of wellness, empowerment, peace and confidence. Camp Casey, a nonprofit organization, has been spreading the healing power of horses to children and families affected by cancer, Sickle cell disease and other life-threatening illnesses since 2004. Its mission is to provide safe and fun experiences through its horseback riding programs.

Joy in Uncertain Times
Founder and Executive Director Molly Reeser established the nonprofit organization in memory of Casey Foote, a 12-yearold horseback rider who passed away in 2003 from bone and brain cancer. Molly met Casey while attending Michigan State University and working part-time teaching horseback riding lessons. Camp Casey was intended to be a one-time event to honor the life of Casey but evolved into a nonprofit organization that spreads joy to over 1,600 participants annually. Camp Casey offers several cost-free programs to vulnerable children and families in Michigan: Cowboy Camp Outs provide all-expensepaid family getaways at dude ranch resorts, Lone Star Getaways bestow free stays for families at privately-owned vacation rental
