How You Can Help

The Corolla Wild Horse Fund is a non-profit, registered 501(c)3 public charity, whose mission is to protect, preserve, and responsibly manage the herd of wild Colonial Spanish Mustangs roaming freely on the northernmost Currituck Outer Banks, and to promote the continued preservation of this land as a permanent sanctuary for horses defined as a cultural treasure by the state of North Carolina.

It doesn’t cost you a thing and the iGive mall contains over 680 stores like Lands End, Staples, Travelocity, Avon, Amazon.com, and so many more of your favorites. If you’re shopping on line anyway, why not help the wild horses in the process. Go to iGive.com and type in Key Word “Corolla.”
