The Rainbow Connection Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center

It is the mission of The Rainbow Connection Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center to bring the benefits of therapeutic and recreational horseback riding to children and adults living with disabilities. Located at the William Clark-Chamberlin Equestrian Center on Abbott Road, Rainbow Connection has served the Anchorage community and surrounding areas since 1983. Alaska’s foremost therapeutic riding center provides horseback riding and driving benefits to children and adults with physical, emotional and cognitive disorders. Rainbow Connection recently launched its local version of a national “Horses for Heroes” program. Rainbow’s program titled “Freedom Reins” provides equine-assisted activity and therapy programs to address specific issues faced by wounded and traumatized military personnel, while also providing a supportive and therapeutic environment for their families and loved ones. Therapeutic riding is a growing and widely accepted treatment for rehabilitating a range of physical, mental and emotional disabilities. Being in charge of a horse releases tension and stress for those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and builds confidence and self-esteem.

Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center

The Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center has provided accessible quality care to thousands of Anchorage families for over 40 years. Next fall, ANHC will open its new state of art health and dental center in midtown Anchorage to dramatically increase access to care for the uninsured and underserved in our community. We are excited to care for our current patients and serve new insured and uninsured patients in a modern comfortable environment. Duct Tape Ball proceeds will support the capital campaign for this new facility from 2011-13. ANHC is one of Alaska’s largest primary care medical and dental practices. Services include family practice medical care, a dental clinic, and on-site pharmacy, lab and radiology services. The health center also features a variety of health management and education classes for women and children including pre and post pregnancy care and education services.

Anchorage Rotary Club in support of Parks for All – Cuddy Family Park Project

Anchorage Rotary Community Services, Inc. supports the Cuddy Family Midtown Park Parks for All playground project. With the support of local legislators, the medical community, Parks & Recreation, Anchorage Downtown Rotary, local non-profits and the Anchorage Park Foundation, three Anchorage moms started Parks for All to allow their children, families and friends, and all Alaskans to enjoy Alaska's awesome outdoor experience--together. The Parks for All initiative promotes inclusive play in Alaska's natural surroundings and brings recreation and play to ALL Alaskans--all abilities, all ages. The new playground will be the first fully accessible playground in Alaska, a central community play space and certified Boundless Playground. Children with disabilities will be able to play independently in a safe environment, and parents and grandparents with disabilities will be able to play with their children, without barriers, in Anchorage's crown-jewel park.

100% of the 2012 Duct Tape Ball net proceeds will go directly to these selected charities.
