Project Cookies For Charity
When Gabriella saw how therapeutic horse riding was for her sister, who has special needs, she came up with the idea that sparked Cookies for Charity, a large-scale lemonade and cookie stand. 100% of the profits from Cookies for Charity go to a local nonprofit therapeutic horseback riding center in Lake Forest, Illinois, called the Equestrian Connection.
In eleven years, over $130,000 have been raised, with sponsorship from twenty-one organizations. Cookies for Charity carves out a pathway for those who want to help repair the world but have no idea where to start, while aiding in destigmatizing children with special needs.
