Saddled with the challenge of hosting another epic Day of the Horse celebration in October 2019, WHOA! (Woodside-area Horse Owners Association) community leaders turned to the Woodside Community Foundation for a bit of additional help.

For many years now, WCF has served as WHOA!’s fiscal sponsor, thereby allowing this dedicated group of volunteers to raise tax-deductible funds to support their celebration of the unique equestrian heritage of Woodside.

This year, the Foundation was also able to help WHOA! streamline registration for the Progressive Trail Ride by allowing equestrians to sign up for the ride online through the Foundation’s website. One of a variety of services provided to its wonderful Funds, WCF is pleased to help WHOA! continue its mission of preserving the fundamental role of horses in maintaining the rural character of the Town of Woodside and its fine tradition of Day of the Horse.
