Bit of Faith Ranch Giving Day Derby - Rusty

Hey there… Rusty here.

I may be the oldest in this race—27 years young—but don’t let that fool you. I’ve got plenty of pep and heart in me.

I’ve seen a lot over the years, and now I get to be part of something that matters a lot—helping individuals with autism and related disabilities grow, connect, and gain confidence.

I’ve got a few more years under my saddle than the others… but I know how to finish strong.

With your support, I just might surprise everyone.

At Bit of Faith Ranch, every horse has a purpose—and every interaction is an opportunity for growth, connection, and transformation.

What began as a vision has become a place where horses and people come together in a meaningful way. Here, our horses are essential partners in serving individuals with autism and related disabilities.

Each session or event at the ranch, something powerful unfolds.

A child who struggles to communicate begins to engage in new ways while working alongside a horse.
A participant builds confidence with every step, every activity, every small success.
Families witness moments of connection and support that once felt out of reach.

And at the center of it all are the horses—Diesel, Rusty, Jewel, and Comanche—each playing a role in helping participants grow, develop skills, build confidence, and form meaningful connections.

But this work requires consistent support.

Providing care, feed, equipment, supplies, training, and a safe environment for our horses ensures they can continue serving others. Every session and every milestone is made possible by people who believe in this mission.

That’s where you come in.

This Giving Day, we’re adding a little fun with our Giving Day Derby—where each horse is “racing” to raise support. And to show our appreciation, every donation made on May 6–7 enters you into our Cinemark Swag Giveaway.

🎬 One donor will win a movie-themed gift basket valued at $140, including:

• Cinemark gift card
• Cinemark hoodie
• Hat, socks, and movie snacks

It’s our way of saying thank you for being part of this mission.

But the real reward goes far beyond the giveaway.

Every dollar you give supports programs that serve individuals with autism and related disabilities—creating opportunities for growth, confidence, and connection that last far beyond a single day.

So whether you’re cheering for Diesel, Rusty, Jewel, or Comanche…

Know that your gift has real impact—and a chance to win something fun along the way.

👉 Join the race. Support the mission. Be part of the difference.
