Inspired by “Buttercup” the infamous hobby horse that came to Jana Marie Foundation’s 2023 summer camp and a series of short form videos showing a trend of professional hobby horse riding, the Jana Marie Foundation’s team dreamed up an opportunity to embrace the power of play and silliness. As we move into the Summer it’s time to relax and reset. This event is designed to encourage resilience and community connections while promoting overall mental wellness.
Jana Marie Foundation harnesses the power of creative expression and dialogue to spark conversations, build connections, and promote mental health and wellness.
