Chukkers For Charity, which took place on Sept 12th, was a great event raising money for two local non-profits: The Rochelle Center and Saddle UP!. One of the strong forces behind the event is Lexie Armstrong, co-chair. Our Donna Vissman took time to talk to Lexie about this annual fundraiser.
About the Rochelle Center:
In 1968, long time area educator W.R. Rochelle, began the foundation for the agency to offer supports for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Supports would enhance skills necessary for individuals to become as independent as possible in our community. Today’s Rochelle Center continues that mission with on-campus day programming, in addition to residential services. Learn more here.
About Saddle Up!
