Sussex Tech class collaborates with Contractors for a Cause

January 9, 2023

Through a collaboration with Contractors for a Cause, Sussex Tech carpentry students recently built horse-mounting stairs for Sonshine Equine Horsemanship Therapeutic Riding Center in Millsboro. In the spring, Paul Sciannella, CFAC volunteer, contacted Ed Stough, Sussex Tech carpentry instructor, with a request for the project.

The building materials, delivered directly to the school, were purchased through the CFAC general fund. The stairs were completed and delivered to the riding center in October. 

Sonshine Equine Horsemanship Therapeutic Riding Center works to facilitate the healing of body, mind and soul through professionally designed, structured equine activities.

Contractors for a Cause is a nonprofit organization of local contractors and associates who strive to give back to their supportive community. Its members identify needs within the community and fulfill those needs through donations, fundraising, skilled labor and volunteer hours. The request for the mounting stairs project was made to CFAC by a riding center volunteer.

Sussex Tech is a public school that prepares Sussex County students in grades 9-12 for their future success in both higher education and workforce environments.
