Bill > J01507

This resolution honors Wisdom Farm for being named Organization of the Year by the Clarence Chamber of Commerce, a designation to be celebrated on March 19, 2026. Wisdom Farm is a not-for-profit organization in Clarence Center, New York, founded by Karen Arrison and her late husband, dedicated to fostering healing and wellness for both animals and people. It operates as an interactive farm that rescues, rehabilitates, and cares for horses, using them in equine-facilitated learning experiences to support veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and others who can benefit from therapeutic programs. The farm offers various programs, including workshops, yoga, a veterans garden project, and a boxing program, all provided at no cost to veterans and their families through fundraising and community support. The resolution also acknowledges Karen Arrison's leadership and extensive philanthropic and civic contributions.
