It’s World Wildlife Day!

Join Kristen Kolenda (and the TCF team!) for a gentle online yoga class aimed at horse lovers and equestrians with all class fees benefiting The Cloud Foundation!

When: March 3, 2024 @ 12 pm Eastern

Where: Virtually in your own home! (Thank you Zoom!)

How: Visit Kristen Kolenda Yoga to purchase your Class Card.

Cost: Show your support with the suggested class donation of $20 or Pay-What-You-Wish.

Who: You don't have to be an equestrian, experienced with yoga (this will be "an easy like Sunday morning" kinda class), tech-savvy, or wealthy to join.  You just need compassion for our wild horses and burros. 

ABOUT KRISTEN:
Kristen is an animal, yoga, pierogi lover and Yoga Therapist with over 13 years of experience teaching yoga as therapy. She has spent her career acquiring knowledge to bring you the most up-to-date and informed techniques for your health and well-being through group and 1:1 classes.

Giving Tuesday began in 2012 to unleash the power of generosity, change the world, and inspire people to do good. It is the most important SINGLE day for non-profits to fundraise in support of support their missions.

As part of The Cloud Foundation community, we know you "do good" all the time. When we call upon you to stand up for our wild ones, you stand. We want you to know just how much we appreciate and are thankful for you.

The Cloud Foundation will continue our advocacy to DOCUMENT, EDUCATE, LEGISLATE, and bring LEGAL ACTION to restore the original intent of the Wild Free Roaming Horse and Burro Act. Dwindling wild horse population numbers underscore the urgency of protection of the herds -- NOW. Using the vision of a perfect world described above, Ginger's and TCF's efforts will continue until helicopter roundups are no longer on the agenda and where few removals -- of any kind -- will be necessary.

Your contribution this GIVING TUESDAY enables us to continue our fight to protect and preserve wild horses and burros on public lands, keeping them WILD and FREE where they belong.
