Veri Oddfellow reminds me that this Sunday is the fundraiser party for Great Strides, a Maryland-based therapeutic center that employs
horses to help people with mental disorders. On Sunday, December 16,
from 11am-2pm PST, DJ Nexeus Fatale will be the featured entertainment during the Great Strides charity dance party at AMO Island in Second Life (click here to teleport).
Nexeus always spins a great set, and it sounds like a really cool
center. So drop on by and drop a few lindens in the donation box. The
full announcement after the jump…

What we do…
Great Strides is an innovative program that helps people to overcome
their mental health issues by partnering treatment staff with equine
staff.
Great Strides offers equine facilitated psychotherapy, therapeutic
horsemanship and equine facilitated learning. Through specially
designed interactive experiences that promote emotional healing, we
build confidence, improve social skills, and help clients make positive
changes in their lives. Our farm environment provides a unique setting
enabling clients to address treatment issues on many different
experiential levels that they might not ordinarily access in a
therapists office.
