Horse Week volunteers give roughly $200,000 to Norco nonprofits
Summary
Jason Miller, president of Horse Week, told the Norco City Council the volunteer-run organization awarded roughly $200,000 across local groups this year, including donations to the animal-control program, senior center and Norco FFA.
Jason Miller, president of Horse Week, presented the organization’s annual report to the Norco City Council and described a series of donations to local organizations. "We were able to double it from last year about $200,000," Miller said, summarizing the committee’s total philanthropic contribution this year. He told council the group’s three pillars are communication, transparency and community, and that volunteers spent time and personal funds to support a 10-day event that raises money for local nonprofits.
Council members thanked Miller and other volunteers, praising the impact of the donations on groups that rely on them. Members noted specific gifts announced by Miller: $20,000 to Norco Animal Control, $20,000 to the Norco Senior Center and $25,000 to Norco FFA. Mayor Graham Meyer and other council members said the donations help local organizations continue operations and programs that serve Norco residents.
