Hobart, IN – Exceptional Equestrians Unlimited (EEU) is proud to announce that it has been selected as the beneficiary of the Strack & Van Til Check-Out Challenge for the week of March 24 through March 30, 2025. This generous program allows customers at all 22 Strack & Van Til stores, as well as the Town & Country store in Valparaiso, to support EEU by rounding up their purchases at checkout.

The funds raised through this initiative will directly benefit Exceptional Equestrians Unlimited, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing therapeutic horseback riding programs for individuals with disabilities. EEU’s mission is to empower participants, enhance their physical and emotional well-being, and create a supportive community through equine-assisted activities.

“We are honored to be chosen as the beneficiary of the Strack & Van Til Check-Out Challenge,” said Jeffrey Perz, Treasurer of Exceptional Equestrians Unlimited. “This partnership provides a wonderful opportunity for community members to support our riders and help us continue offering life-changing equine therapy.”

Shoppers can participate by simply rounding up their purchase at the register, with all proceeds going directly to EEU. Every donation, no matter the amount, contributes to making a meaningful impact on the lives of the individuals served by the organization.
