In the heart of horse country, fun and philanthropy came together in a big way.
At the Children’s Charity Classic in Ocala, 10 nonprofit organizations each took the arena representing a nostalgic childhood board game in an elite horse show jumping competition. ECS4Kids stepped into the spotlight with Twister, bringing a playful twist to a night rooted in purpose.
Organized by The Community Foundation for Ocala/Marion County and The Rotary Club of Ocala, the event blended the elegance of Ocala’s equestrian culture with a shared commitment to supporting children and families across the community.

We are proud to share that ECS4Kids placed second, earning a $15,000 grant to help advance our programs and continue investing in the learning and development of the children and families we serve.
