Marianne Cederlind, Senior Vice President of Mission Valley Bank and President of Carousel Ranch, introduced the Give Where You Live SCV project .

“At Carousel Ranch, we provide equestrian therapy for children who have special needs, whether they are physical, mental, emotional, or physiological and we do that through therapy on a horse,” said Cederlind. “The horse provides them the ability to stretch their muscles, improve their balance, practice hand eye coordination and it does in many times change their speech.”

In many cases, Carousel Ranch has helped improve the quality of life for several families. Cederlind mentioned the transformation in children from their first ride at the ranch to their last.

“With the economy that took the turn that it did in the past two years, Mission Valley Bank looked into a way that it could respond to the ongoing needs of charities that we have initiatives with,” said Cederlind. “We developed a social media campaign to highlight several of the charities in the Santa Clarita Valley and bring attention to the needs and work that they do.”

Carousel Ranch is just one of the many charities supported by Mission Valley Bank.

“We have had parents say that their children didn’t talk at all and one day after getting their therapy session, one little girl turned to her mother and said ‘momma’ for the first time. The more the community learns about Carousel Ranch and the other great charities in our valley, the more (Mission Valley Bank) is willing to give in terms of donating to their needs,” said Cederlind.

In addition to offering therapeutic treatment, Carousel Ranch will be hosting the 19th Annual Heart of The West Dinner, Auction & Children’s Demonstration for the first time on Aug. 29, 2015. Santa Clarita Valley residents are invited to participate in the fundraiser and watch horse riding demonstrations provided by Carousel Ranch. There will also be a casino, dancing, and dinner catered by the Salt Creek Grill.

Apart from supporting various non-profit organizations such as Boys & Girls Club SCV, Samuel Dickson Family Health Center, and College of the Canyons Foundation, Mission Valley Bank also provides excellent banking services from employees that live and work in the community.

“Many of our employees live and work here, which develops a sense of community. To me it is really important that if you are a going to be a community back, that you are aware of what goes on in this community,” said Cederlind. “We like to think that what sets us apart is that we act as trusted advisers to all of our clients. We have been voted the most trusted advisers for five consecutive years by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal.”
