aneGait is a beacon of hope and healing, welcom ing thousands of riders, volunteers, and partners to the arena each year. From just two horses and four riders, ManeGait has grown into a nationally recognized therapeutic riding center, serving 150 individuals with disabilities each week.

Thanks to the success of its nationally recognized Equine Therapy programs, ManeGait's service offering has expanded to include more state-of-the-art programs. In 2013, ManeGait developed the first Brain Building program of its kind to enhance and extend outcomes for participants. The GaitWay to the Brain program is now being replicated at therapy centers across the country. ManeGait has also become a Knowledge Center, sharing best practices with industry professionals and other nonprofits. As a Community Center, the ministry further touches the lives of 4,000 volunteers, partners, and supporters each year. Rider fami lies find a supportive network of friends, volunteers discover new passions, students become leaders, professionals develop skills, and supporters are engaged in a rewarding mission.

As a result of ManeGait's programs, 97% of parents/riders reported improvements in one or more of the following areas: physical ability, overall mental health, social skills and behavior, communication skills, cognitive function, and development of riding skills. Each of these functional outcomes leads to greater indepen dence and a better quality of life for riders and their families.

Referrals from parents, teachers, and doctors, have led to a demand for services far exceeding capacity and a waitlist of 400 rider families. A new master site plan has been established to renovate ManeGait's facility to double the number of people ManeGait can serve in the coming years.

Year-end donations to ManeGait keep costs affordable for their current rider families and helps to prepare the mission for future growth to meet this growing community need.

Frisco Humane Society

risco Humane Society (FHS) is an all-volunteer, all-foster, homebased, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused or unwanted animals. FHS pro vides temporary foster care and medical attention for homeless animals until per manent homes can be found. FHS strives to provide caring, responsible homes for these animals while reducing animal overpopulation through spay or neuter ing. The operation of this organization is funded primarily by adoption fees, public donations, and fundraising efforts.

Earlier this year, the FHS achieved a milestone of 10,000 adopted dogs and cats since the organization's inception in 2001. On 3/1/22, Frisco's Mayor Cheney issued a proclamation in recognition of this achievement, declaring March 1st as Frisco Humane Society Day.

FHS programs include:

• Animal Rescue, Fostering, and Adoptions

FHS primarily rescues animals from local municipal animal shelters that are in jeop ardy of being euthanized. FHS provides temporary foster care and medical atten tion for homeless animals until permanent homes can be found. The rescue services include all necessary medical care prior to adoption for each animal (rabies and viral vaccinations, deworming, flea and tick preventative, canine heartworm test/feline leukemia and FIV test, heartworm treat ment if necessary, spay/neuter, microchip)

• Feral Cat Community Support

Frisco Humane Society has allocated funds for Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) activities for 2022 to assist its volunteers who sup port feral cat communities and feral cats in their neighborhoods and surrounding areas. These funds will be used to spay/ neuter, vaccinate and test feral cats and then release them back into an environ ment where the animals continue to be

supported with food, water, and shelter.

•

Spay and Neuter Clinics

FHS promotes through social media and adoption events the free or low-cost spay/ neuter/vaccination services offered by other animal welfare organizations, such as TCAP, SNYP, etc., to promote com munity awareness and outreach. FHS also provides free spay and neuter clinics to the Dallas/Fort Worth residents, when feasible, to help reduce the number of homeless and unwanted animals in the community.

FHS depends on the generosity of frisco and the surrounding community's support to keep operations running. There is a need for cat food (IAMS dry kitten and adult foods), scoopable litter, and Kirk land's brand dog food. Financial donations are also greatly appreciated and assist in covering the increasing medical and vet erinary costs. To donate today, please visit FriscoHumaneSociety.com.

Hope Clinic of McKinney

ope Clinic of McKinney saw its first patient in 2017, fulfilling a plan that began in 2014 with recognizing the unmet need for quality care for the uninsured in the community. Twelve percent of McKinney residents are without medical insurance. The need is even higher in East Mckin ney, where Hope Clinic is located. In June 2016, a team of volunteers and partners formed to bring a mission of Hope and Healing in McKinney to life.

After spending two years operating out of the Baptist Immigration Center, Hope Clinic moved to its permanent location on East Lamar in 2019. The new clinic allows increased operating hours and the ability to serve more patients. Looking ahead to the future, Hope Clinic is aiming to ex pand operations to accommodate patients five days a week.

In 2022, 100 volunteers from all across the community have worked together over the course of 6,000 hours to serve more than 600 uninsured patients who otherwise would have gone without care or gone to an emergency room for basic medical care. The clinic added more than 20 new medical providers, scribes, and techs, hired a new part-time nurse practitioner and a full-time medical assistant and shifted to two executive directors co-leading the clin ic. Hope Clinic also earned, for the third year in a row, the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Standards Gold Designation, the highest level for free clinics nationwide, and was granted the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency.

Hope Clinic is an incredible asset to the community and can continue to thrive with generous donations from North Tex ans. This holiday season, give the gift of

health by supporting the clinic with a giftgiving option to honor someone special in your life. Honorees will be notified that a donation was made in their name. To donate, please visit HopeClinicMcKinney. org/Donate.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County

he mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County (BGCCC) is to enable all young people, especial ly those who need guidance most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. There are over 200,000 youths enrolled in Col lin County schools today, over 35,000 youths are from low-income families. BGCCC currently impacts around 4,500 youth annually, equaling less than 3% of the county’s youth. With your support they can do more!

Youth today face numerous challenges and need our collective support more than ever. BGCCC knows that after school enrichment programs must be included in the framework for ensuring the youth in our community have a safe place to go.

Youth in quality after school programs are more likely to stay in school, receive better grades, and not be involved in “risky behavior.” Innovative Programs are designed to empower youth to excel in school, become good citizens and lead healthy, productive lives using nationally recognized programs that closely align with the developmental needs of all young people: Education, the arts, health & well ness, leadership & service, and sports & recreation.

When swimmers work up an appetite, the casual Waterfront Grill & Bar serves fresh salads, wraps, and other Texas fare to enjoy in the sun. Adja cent to the waterfront is a lounge area that feels like an oversized living room gazing out over the bay and beyond into Lake LBJ – an idyllic setting to sip a craft cocktail or Texas wine and watch the sunset.

GLOWING SKIN is something many people strive to have.

For some, radiant skin is an outward sign of health, while others wish to achieve the glow for cosmetic reasons. There are many ways to improve your skin’s radiance. So read on as we look more closely at what glowing skin is and how to work towards it!

What is glowing skin? What is skin?

We all feel pride when our skin is clear, smooth and radiant. We cringe when it is dry, sallow, blemished, wrinkled and lifeless. Skincare products that offer skin renewal are more like magnets for most of us! Oddly, however, to see real rejuvenation you have to start from the inside out. Not the reverse!

Everyone’s skin is different. Some people may be naturally more able to achieve a glowing appearance than others due to a range of factors.

Genetics, lifestyle, environment, health conditions and skin care behaviors all have a role to play!

Making some simple lifestyle changes can have a huge impact on your skin health and appearance.

1. Stop smoking as this always causes premature aging, including wrinkles, slow wound healing and tissue breakdown.

2. Get enough sleep to support mental health and allow the body to heal from damage! Aim for 7-9 hours a night.

3. Make H2O your BFF and reduce your alcohol intake to help your liver detoxify all the pollutants and toxins your skin is exposed to every day. Set a goal of half your body weight (in ounces) of water a day (ie. If you weigh 140 pounds, you should drink 70 ounces of water a day).

4. Exercise will increase blood flow to the skin and promote regeneration. Research has shown that moderate exercise (brisk walking) for 150 minutes a week (20 minutes a day) significantly improves skin structure.

5. Relieving stress can impact your skin. Scientists have shown that stress raises inflammation levels in your body which can create delayed healing of your skin. Reduce stressful activities, wind down before sleeping and practice mindfulness. Aside from caring for your skin on the surface, often the biggest change can be seen once you start fueling your skin cells from the inside.

G LOW I N G S KI N i s s o m eth ing m a n y p e o p le strive to h ave .

The best way to truly get your skin to glow from the inside is to feed it with some key ingredients. Foods high in healthy fats such as avocados, nuts and seeds provide a plethora of benefits—plus they keep you fuller longer! Avoid foods that are high in sugar, saturated fat, and salt. Instead focus on fresh fruits and vegetables. Some of the best foods for glowing skin are: Tomatoes, Broccoli, Walnuts, Fish, Lemons, Berries and Sweet Potatoes. A recent study has shown that Coconut Water has intense hydrating properties and is a good source of Vitamin C, as well as potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Make it a Habit Habit

To get your “Glow On” follow a skincare routine daily using products that suit your skin.

Cleanse Twice A Day

Cleansing helps your skin ward off dirt, excess oil, make up and dead skin cells.

Exfoliate Once a Week

As we age, shedding dead skin cells becomes a task for the skin. Since they do not shed on their own, a little extra help is needed!

Use a Toner

This is a product that aims at balancing your skin’s pH and can contain soothing ingredients like cucumber and aloe.

Moisturize Twice a Day

Moisturizing your skin helps in repairing the barrier of your skin and prevents water loss.

Apply a Sunscreen Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to dullness, dark patches, fine lines, wrinkles and skin cancer!

The Beauty of Laser Toning

As televised with Dr. Wright on ABC American Health Front BEFORE AFTER

The SECRET is Out with Secret Radiofrequency Skin Needling Treatments!

Skin Needling (or micro-needling) and Radiofrequency are both wellestablished treatments that are normally performed separately to jumpstart collagen production and improve the texture of your skin. The “beauty” of the SecretRF treatment is that it combines both technologies in one single treatment to provide the ultimate results in skin rejuvenation: natural, firm, smooth, tightened and glowing skin without the need for surgery!

For those who may not be ready for lasers or needles, then a relaxing Oxygen Vitamin Facial is your answer! Oxygen not only soothes dry skin, but it also rehydrates and disinfects even the most sensitive skin. Removing impurities and pollutants left on the skin from the outside environment, along with providing healing oxygen and vitamins, offers qualities that act as a detox for the skin in a safe, gentle way while rejuvenating your complexion.
