Ascend Volunteers Pitch In To Help Panhandle Equine Rescue

July 22, 2014

A group of volunteers from Ascend Performance Materials went up against the heat and humidity Monday to make some much needed improvements around the Cantonment home of Panhandle Equine Rescue.

“Despite the heat, 17 men came out, tore down an old stall that was rotting and built a new one,” said PER President Diane Lowery. “They also did fencing and painting. We appreciate large corporations who help non-profits since they have the manpower and resources that can be so difficult for organizations who depend on volunteers and donations.”

Ascend donated materials, in addition to the labor needed, for Monday’s improvements. Panhandle Equine Rescue is a non-profit organization that rescues and rehabilitates abused or neglected horses.

As part of their orientation program, new hires at Ascend participate in a community volunteer project.

    Special thanks to Ascend and all the volunteers . You did a super job. Ascend does a lot of things for the community that people really are unaware of. I know the rescue can use the building and you all do a great job. The horses will love it, since many of the rescue horses have never been in a barn.
