Annual Events
Pegasus Horse Show
Over 60 riders participated in the annual horse show where all riders receive blue ribbons. The event is held so that everyone who rides at Pegasus has an opportunity to experience a “horse show” and display his/her riding talents for family and friends. The guest judge was Philadelphia Policewoman Jane Rash who was formerly a member of the Mounted Unit.
Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
The Pegasus Board of Directors sponsored the first Volunteer Appreciation Dinner held at the facility. The sumptuous meal was cooked and served by Board Members and staff and enjoyed by all. The evening’s entertainment was provided by The Workin’ Stiffs Blues Band which includes two of our long standing volunteers. Recognition Awards were given for years of service to the organization.
Carol Tatum Memorial Dinner Dance & Silent Auction
The 3rd Annual Carol Tatum Memorial Dinner Dance & Silent Auction was held at the Knowlton Mansion. The event and the accompanying ad book were wonderful successes and provided a substantial portion of our fundraising resources for the year. State Senator Michael Stack was the guest of honor and was awarded a plaque of appreciation for his support of the program. Pegasus also honored its Volunteers of the Year: Kathleen Rafferty and Teresa Doherty (shown above with Program Director Ami Ledesma)
Volunteer Recognition Week
Each year during the third week of April we honor our valued volunteers during National Volunteer Recognition Week by providing treats and snacks, hanging a large banner in the arena and giving them a token “thank you” gift.
Community Outreach
Philadelphia Cares about Fairmount Park Day
Over twenty volunteers helped clear a wooded area on the Pegasus property for the creation of our new Sensory Trail. In only three hours these hard working folks were able to accomplish what we thought would take days to do.
Tripod Initiative – Pegasus Video
Pegasus was selected to work with students from Drexel University to create a new video as part of the Tripod Initiative which is sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Film Office. The video footage was shot and edited by the students and the script was written and narrated by Pegasus staff. The video is a wonderful “snapshot” of our program.
Disability Resource Expo
This event which was sponsored by State Representative Tom Murt at Upper Moreland Elementary School was a huge success. Pegasus was able to let people know about our programs and services and also our need for volunteers.
2nd Annual Philly Clean Up Day
We again welcomed the group of volunteers who helped clean up the Pegasus property, clean out the Old Barn and the wooded areas that surround it.
Vanguard United Way Days of Caring
Over 35 volunteers from Vanguard turned a fall day into an extreme makeover for the indoor riding arena. The entire wood walls were cleaned and painted a beautiful burgundy. The volunteers also helped set up the arena for the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner that evening.
