KELLER –  Philanthropy is defined by, “Love felt by an individual towards humankind.  It is expressed through acts of generosity and charity and seeks to promote the greater happiness and prosperity of humanity.”  Rocky Top Therapy Center is one of the selected charities to recently receive a grant from the Trophy Club Women’s Club philanthropic efforts. 

Rocky Top Therapy Center was established in the heart of Keller in 1990 to provide therapeutic riding programs and services to address the needs of individuals with physical and mental disabilities.  Additionally, Rocky Top Therapy Center provides programs for youth at risk.  These programs teach life skills and address emotional problems.  Presently, Rocky Top Therapy Center serves over 250 “special needs” individuals per week.

Rocky Top Therapy Center President Doug Newton stated, “We are very grateful for the support of Trophy Club Women’s Club and their generosity to Rocky Top and the other organizations which will benefit from their philanthropy this year. These are tough times for most nonprofit organizations, so it is especially gratifying to know that we have such strong community support.”

Judy Youngs, Director of Development of Rocky Top Therapy Center, commented.  “The generous contribution of Trophy Club Women’s Club will enable us to meet our objective: to provide therapeutic riding services to all who may benefit, regardless of financial ability.” 

Rocky Top Therapy Center extends our gratitude to all Trophy Club Women’s Club members who generously volunteer their time and energy to help others.
