Horses with Hope, Inc. announced that it has received a $2,000 grant from the CVS Health Foundation in celebration of Giving Tuesday, a national movement where charities, individuals, schools, businesses and other community organizations come together on one day to create a national day of giving back.

CVS Health colleague Eve-Lyn Laboon of Pittsburgh nominated Horses with Hope, Inc. to receive a grant, which will support the organization's mission to provide therapeutic riding and other equine-related activities to enhance the physical, mental, social and emotional needs of individuals with disabilities.

"CVS Health colleagues like Eve-Lyn Laboon bring our values of caring and collaboration to life all year long by volunteering with organizations that are helping the people we serve each and every day," said Eileen Howard Boone, President, CVS Health Foundation. "We're excited to award organizations like Horses with Hope, Inc. that are making a real impact in their community with funding in honor of Giving Tuesday and are proud to continue to be part of a national movement that promotes the spirit of volunteerism and giving back."

Giving Tuesday is a national campaign created in 2012 to spark a day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season, following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It celebrates charities, individuals, schools, businesses and other community organizations who come together to support charitable causes, and encourages everyone to participate in a national day dedicated to giving back. Giving Tuesday aligns with the CVS Health Foundation's goal to make a positive impact in the lives of people by investing in local communities.
