The Gift of Time! EQUUS Foundation Announces Its CHAMPIONS Program

WESTPORT, CT – January 1, 2012 – The EQUUS Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its CHAMPIONS program – an incentive-based equine service volunteer program to recognize and reward individuals and organizations on the carrots4acause network.

To become a CHAMPION, an individual must volunteer for an organization or organizations on the carrots4acuse network and log at least 24 volunteer hours from January 1st to December 31st. The volunteer hours will be verified by the organization and The EQUUS Foundation.

carrots4acause is a free way for individuals to align their passion for horses with real needs and for organizations to access those individuals who may be able to help them with their volunteer requirements and wish-list items of needed products and services.

Why the name, carrots4acause? All horses love carrots, and the carrot is a universal symbol of enticement and reward.
