KFC Foundation Grants Centenary University a $10,000 Kentucky Fried Wish

KFC Foundation Grants Centenary University a $10,000 Kentucky Fried Wish

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ

TRAC (Therapeutic Riding At Centenary) provides equine-assisted services to individuals with special needs and develops leaders for the equine-assisted services industry.

The KFC Foundation is giving back to Hackettstown, NJ-based Centenary University TRAC (Therapeutic Riding At Centenary), an adaptive riding program for adults and children with disabilities at Centenary University. The KFC Foundation granted TRAC $10,000 to make a project on their wish list come true. Kentucky Fried Wishes, one of the KFC Foundation’s community giving programs, invites non-profit organizations to apply for a grant to fund a project on their wish list. This year, the KFC Foundation will fund $1 million in Kentucky Fried Wishes to 100 non-profits nationwide, with 25 grants awarded quarterly based on different project categories.

“We are so grateful to the KFC Foundation for this generous Kentucky Fried Wishes grant, which will help our organization improve riding accommodations related to health and wellness for individuals with disabilities,” said Karen Brittle, Director of TRAC and Assistant Professor of Equine Studies. “This grant will assist us in completing mounting ramp area renovations, as well as purchase an Equicizer Elite, an educational tool that will help to enhance the skills of our participants.”

TRAC provides equestrian opportunities for people with physical and cognitive disabilities, as well as specialized populations such as military veterans, at-risk youth, and residents of assisted living facilities. In addition to offering riding and equine-assisted learning opportunities for participants, TRAC is one of the few collegiate training grounds in the nation for students seeking a career in therapeutic riding.

“As the KFC Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, we are thrilled to grant 100 Kentucky Fried Wishes totaling $1 million dollars this year,” said Emma Horn, Executive Director, KFC Foundation. “We’re proud to support these non-profits in furthering their missions and grateful for all they do to make a difference in their communities.”

Kentucky Fried Wishes is just one way the KFC Foundation supports, empowers, and serves joy to KFC restaurant employees and communities. The KFC Foundation also provides programs focused on education, financial, and hardship assistance for KFC restaurant employees, and a food donation program to fight hunger and food waste. The KFC Foundation receives financial support from Round Up fundraising and its annual donation program, a voluntary program where KFC franchisees donate to the KFC Foundation every time they order a case of Secret Recipe Fries.

The next grant cycle for Kentucky Fried Wishes is running from July 15-31 with a focus on expanding access to food and shelter. Non-profit organizations seeking funding for a project within that scope can learn more and apply for a grant at kfcfoundation.org/wishes.
