The Calile Hotel was honoured to partner with Reason to Thrive for our recent annual charity auction and Gala, which raised over $200,000 in funding. Reason to Thrive provides unique life skills and personal development programs to support at-risk children and women whose lives have been impacted by family and domestic violence. Through experiential equine-assisted learning (EAL) programs, the volunteer-led organisation helps participants rebuild, recover, and reconnect with themselves, and learn leadership, self-awareness, and social-emotional skills, through a safe and respectful relationship experience with horses.
