From this day on, now and forever more…
you’ll be in my heart.

 

Stirrup Hope is the annual fundraising gala for Quantum Leap Farm’s equine-assisted therapy programs. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, March 7th under a glowing Florida sunset. We expect 400 guests in Quantum’s riding arena again this year!

Our theme this year is Disney’s Tarzan, a story that shows us that even when we feel different or unsure of where we fit, courage and connection can guide us toward where we truly belong. Tarzan’s journey — learning to trust himself, embrace his strengths, and find family in unexpected places — closely mirrors that of many of our veterans, pediatric cancer patients, and children and adults with special needs. They too are navigating challenging and sometimes isolating paths as they search for acceptance, belonging, and solid ground beneath their feet.

Quantum is that place, and our gentle horses and professional staff are here to walk beside them every step of the way. At Quantum, our dedicated staff, volunteers, and especially our generous donors are the loving, steady presence that helps our therapy participants feel supported, understood, and held in our hearts.

Highlights of the evening will include an adventurous happy hour, a photo booth with Tarzan’s friends, dinner, and a beautiful program of moving testimonials from Quantum Leap Farm participants who demonstrate incredible strength and resilience. Much like Tarzan, they’re discovering meaning, confidence, and connection as they bravely navigate unfamiliar terrain and embrace new experiences. Please wear your country finest: jeans, boots, and a hat with a jungle twist, and finish up a great evening with live music!

More than 95% of our $2.3 million budget is supported by
the generosity of our Tampa Bay community donors through events
like Stirrup Hope.

Thank you for your support!
