1100 CLUB

Praying Hands Ranches' 1100 Club is a unique opportunity to provide financial support for therapeutic riding for special-needs clients.  Friends of PHR can partner with us by supporting the ministry on a monthly basis in the amount of their choosing. 

If 1100 people join us with a pledge of $10.00 (or more) per month, the result would be $11,000.00.  That's why we call it the 1100 Club!

Your donation could help pay for any one of the following for one month:

• Feed two horses (PHR has 21 horses)

• Provide a partial scholarship for one of our 100 weekly clients

• HELP pay the propane bill (to heat our indoor facilities)

Can you help us?

"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."  Hebrews 13:16

Praying Hands Ranch simply asks you to become an 1100 Club partner and commit to supporting this ministry in Parker with a donation of your choice each month.  The amount is totally up to you and will be gratefully received.

Thank you!
