BASF supports Wild Hearts Equine Therapeutic Center with donation

SENECA, SC, Nov. 7, 2022 – BASF’s site in Seneca recently donated $1,000 to the Wild Hearts Equine Therapeutic Center in Oconee County, and a team from BASF participated in the organization’s fundraising golf tournament.


The donation will be used to provide low or no-cost services for people with physical, intellectual or emotional challenges, including people dealing with trauma, behavioral or social issues, at-risk youth and victims of abuse, as well as active duty military personnel and veterans. Wild Hearts Equine Therapeutic Center, Inc. is a non-profit company that helps foster physical, emotional and behavioral growth by creating powerful connections between people and horses. They offer customized equine-assisted learning and therapeutic riding programs based on Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH) practices, Trust-Based Relational Intervention principles and a philosophy of horsemanship rooted in softness.


“We are very happy to support Wild Hearts Equine Therapeutic Center and their creative work to support people in our community. This is the kind of programming that has the power to change lives, and we are dedicated to making Seneca the best community it can be.” said BASF Seneca Site Director Elba Lizardi.


BASF’s contribution is part of the ongoing commitment the site in Seneca has to strengthening the community through supporting area non-profit organizations. Its Seneca site is also a member of the Keowee Key Community Partnership, which seeks to improve the lives of the less fortunate in Oconee County by partnering with non-profit organizations to make a difference in the community.
