Box Giveaway!

Rocking Horse Foundation
is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization that focuses on
providing hope, opportunity
and happiness to local children
and families in need within our
community from Martin County
to Northern Palm Beach County.
Rocking Horse Foundation
(RHF) has previously worked
with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club in both Martin
County and Palm Beach County for RHF’s annual “Give the
Gift” Program where they have children handwrite letters and
select a toy that they wish to “give” to another child, ultimately
teaching children the true gift of “giving.” RHF then purchases
all toys and pairs up the toys with the proper letters and delivers
them to each Boys & Girls Club location and hosts a holiday
party where the gifts are handed out. Each party is complete with
an arts and crafts ornament decorating station and little wooden
rocking horse decorating station and a fun cookie decorating
station! Rocking Horse Foundation has also worked with the boxes for children to engage in, everything from art, to science
