Latham Centers’ therapeutic donkey program (also known as Asinotherapy) is a unique part of our vocational and therapeutic programming. Our students and individuals regularly care for and interact with our six therapy donkeys under the guidance and supervision of Latham’s Donkey Trainer, Kris Thompson.

Many of you will remember our unique and fabulous Donkey Wedding held in May 2019, when two of our beloved therapy donkeys, ESTHER AND ESAU, tied the knot. Others may have attended our inaugural DONKEY DASH last year at Hog Island Brewery, where we hosted over 200 folks who ran, walked, and strolled down West St, Orleans.

We continue this new Latham tradition by bringing you the Second Annual Donkey Dash. This FAMILY-FRIENDLY event is a 5K road race for all ages, with a celebration, great food, and a raffle following the race. Our guests of honor, Esther and Esau will be there too - for petting and photo opportunities!

The Donkey Dash is an exciting format to raise awareness about the vital, life-changing ways that Latham Centers supports children and adults with complex disabilities, including Prader-Willi syndrome.
