Funds will support Miss Pam's Ranch, which teaches troubled youth to ride, do chores, build esteem, and set goals. Miss Pam RUNS her ranch from a wheelchair. We are still trying to raise funds to repair the travel chair we gifted her last year, plus many other projects. We are also raising money to put on a Ware in The World 5k in Tanzania, Africa, to inspire a village of youth to aspire in running.
