Rancho Santa Fe, CA, June 15, 2001-Grand Opening of the Toby Wells Therapeutic Riding Building at the Helen Woodward Animal Center is scheduled for the first week in August, 2001.
The Toby Wells Foundation has been a significant contributor to the Therapeutic Horse Riding Program, at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. The Foundation proudly supports this program as it clearly betters the lives of children and people living with disabilities. In addition to providing the funds necessary to build the Toby Wells Therapeutic Riding Building, the Toby Wells Foundation has also provided funding to enable thirty underprivileged children to take part in the program for one year and has absorbed the costs to care for a therapeutic riding horse for one full year.
The Toby Wells Foundation encourages and supports programs that provide a quality-of-life difference for people and animals.
The Toby Wells Foundation was formed in January 2001 as a means to make a meaningful difference within San Diego in honor of Toby Wells. Wells 28, a third generation San Diegan and avid animal advocate, passed away in May 2000. Wells’ family and closest friends came together to develop the Toby Wells Foundation.
Today, the Toby Wells Foundation is focused on building a brighter future for youth, persons with disabilities and animals by providing substantial financial and fundraising assistance. The Toby Wells Foundation has helped in obtaining contributions exceeding three-hundred thousand dollars to worthy organizations to date.
