MORE ABOUT THE JESSICA REKOS FOUNDATION: The Jessica Rekos Foundation was formed to create and fund programs and events that will allow others to experience the magic of horses like Jessica did, and to allow her whale “research” to continue through study and conservation efforts.

To date, it has contributed over $57,000 for horseback riding scholarships and equine therapy programs, over $90,000 to whale research and conservation efforts, and over $77,000 for security enhancements at local preschools, schools, and other youth facilities.
