Blazing Saddles Receives International CreateAThon Services

Paragon Design Group, Inc. chose blazing Saddles Therapeutic Riding Program as a beneficiary of marketing services during its annual CreateAThon, an international design event that helps nonprofit organizations.

Nick Greene Web Design and Paragon updated Blazing Saddles’ website, providing information about the therapeutic organization, the services it provides and how community donations benefit the program.

CreateAThon began several years ago when South Carolina marketing firm RIGGS donated a full day of creative services to selected nonprofits in its home community. Since that time, CreateAThon has expanded to include marketing agencies around the world. Paragon, the only area agency selected to participate in the event, joined the effort in 2002 and has sponsored the event each year since.

“We are thrilled to have been chosen as a part of this event and are delighted with the new look of our website,” said LeAnna Graves, Blazing Saddles board member.

Blazing Saddles is a volunteer-based equine therapeutic riding program, currently serving more than 20 children and adults with special needs. A nonprofit organization, Blazing Saddles is fully funded by charitable donations and is an agency of the High Country United Way.
