2025 was a milestone year for StandFast Alliance — and none of it would have been possible without you. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and partners, we continued to offer free programming to the military and first responder communities we're proud to serve. A special thank you to our program partner, Rising Starr Horse Rescue, and our incredible StandFast Equine team.
Here's a look at what we accomplished together:
Logged over 800 hours of outreach — Throughout the year, our team delivered more than 800 hours of educational programming and community outreach.
Expanded our coaching team — Three new coaches completed HeartMath mentor certification, strengthening our ability to bring resiliency training directly to those who need it.
Supported Team Rubicon — Partnered with Team Rubicon and Rising Starr Horse Rescue on a service project serving our veteran community.
Collected blankets for homeless veterans — Joined forces with the FDNY to collect and distribute blankets to veterans experiencing homelessness.
Raised awareness at the FOP Car Show — Connected with the community at the Fraternal Order of Police Car Show in Orange County.
Cheered on Navy SEALs at the World Trade Center — Showed our support for the SEAL community at an event at the World Trade Center in August.
Brought HeartMath to the Hampton Classic — Introduced biofeedback and resiliency tools to a new audience at the Hampton Classic Horse Show.
Attended the Equine Affair — Represented StandFast Equine at the Equine Affair in Springfield, MA.
Continued learning and collaboration — Attended educational conferences and the Horse and Human Research Foundation conference to exchange ideas and stay at the forefront of equine-assisted programming.
Thank you for standing with us. We look forward to an even bigger 2026.
