Donkeys-For-Good: Frank Morning Show features Latham donkey program

Our community has been exceptional in its support of this weekend’s SOLD OUT Donkey Wedding fundraiser! One of those supporters is CapeCodRadio.com. Last week, radio station 93.5 FM’s Frank Morning Show featured Latham 和 our Asinotherapy Program, the beneficiary of the fundraising event. Radio hosts Doug Frye 和 Mina Green interviewed Heather Kelsey, our Director of Development, to publicize the Donkey Wedding 和 share how donkeys Esther 和 Esau are “getting hitched” for a cause.

On air with Doug 和 Mina last Tuesday morning, Heather highlighted Latham Centers’ Children’s 和 Adult 项目 和 the services we provide, 和 details about our “big event” – the Donkey Wedding at Taylor-Bray Farm! Heather noted that we are an internationally renowned treatment program for individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome, 解释, “As part of our supplemental therapeutic 和 vocational programming, we have the donkey program or ‘Asinotherapy Program’.” She talked about Latham’s six miniature donkeys which live at one of our group residences: “The donkeys are incredibly gentle 和 they crave attention… Our program participants really enjoy connecting with the donkeys 和 just having that bonding experience – it has been a real enriching part of our program.”

After the radio interview, 米娜说, “希瑟, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us this morning 和 to help educate people about Latham Centers 和 all the wonderful things that you do for our kids 和 young adults with disabilities, 和 the therapy with the donkeys is just incredible.”

Although the wedding is now sold out, we invite our greater community to learn more about the Asinotherapy Program at LathamCenters.org/donkeys-for-good. We’re looking forward to sharing highlights of the event in upcoming blogs.
