Wanting to continue to ‘give back’ to the community that has made the company a success, Zephyr’s Garden looks to its customers for philanthropic guidance.
– It started with a simple Facebook post, “We want to be a part of your next fund raiser or event. Let us know how we can help.” From this modest beginning, a season of philanthropy and goodwill is in full swing.
“We asked our customers how can we help? What better way to be a part of their community and their lives then to support groups that are dear to them,” states owner Georgette Topakas. “From my single Facebook post we have helped countless groups this summer through product donations, gift certificates, and the actual purchase of equine items such as fly masks. Our customers created exponential growth for this young company and it’s our honor to be able to give back.”
A sampling of groups this summer that have benefited from Zephyr’s Garden include:
Happy Horse Haven Equine Sanctuary and Rescue
Fox Valley Helping Paws Animal Welfare Association
Lewis Farm & Equine Rescue
New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding
Miller’s Equestrian Center and Sanctuary
Saving Horses, Inc.
Cowgirl Spirit Rescue & Drill Team
Riverworks Community Helping Community
Brush Run Hunt Pony Club
California Dressage Society
National Walking Horse Association
Columbia Basin Cowgirls
Midwest Renegades
Central Coast Polo Club
Santa Barbara Flyers
Various 4H groups across the country
“Our only parameter for giving is that the funds raised by the organization directly benefit horses or dogs. I see great value in supporting not only sanctioned 501c3 rescue groups, but also 4H groups and pony clubs,” explains Ms. Topakas. “This has been a perfect compliment to our current giving campaigns. Zephyr’s Garden works every year with several rescue groups to sponsor and help place unwanted horses. Although we cannot bring the horse’s home and foster them ourselves, we assist through monetary and product sponsorships. We are growing company with a strong belief in helping our animal community”
