Thank you for your support!
Fundraising Luncheon at Armature Works
Thank you for being someone our participants can count on, every step of the way!
Colors of Courage is our annual fundraising luncheon benefiting Quantum Leap Farm. This year, we gathered at Armature Works on Thursday, September 17th, to celebrate the life-changing impact of our programs and the incredible community that makes our mission possible. Nearly 230 guests attended and helped us raise $245,000 for our equine-assisted therapy programs – it was our most successful luncheon to date!
Highlights of the event included a beautiful and inspiring program, moving testimonials from Quantum Leap Farm participants, and a room filled with generous donors, sponsors, friends, and supporters who continue to show up for those we serve.
This year’s theme was inspired by Bruno Mars’ Count on Me — a song that beautifully reflects the power of friendship, support, and simply being there for one another. At Quantum Leap Farm, no one has to face life’s challenges alone. Our dedicated staff, volunteers, therapy horses, donors, and community surround our participants with encouragement, connection, and hope. Whether it’s a military service member or veteran finding strength and connection, or a child or adult with special needs reaching a new milestone, our participants know they have a community they can count on.
And we count on you.
Because of the generosity of the Tampa Bay community, Quantum Leap Farm can continue transforming lives through the healing connection between humans and horses. Every sponsorship, donation, volunteer hour, and act of support helps ensure our participants have a safe and welcoming place where they are encouraged, supported, and celebrated.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, staff, and friends for continuing to show up for Quantum Leap Farm and the people we serve. Your support reminds our participants that whatever challenges may come, they never have to face them alone.
Thank you for being someone Quantum Leap Farm can always count on!
