X Marks the Spot for a Stronger Future

Building Stronger Communities, One Step at a Time

The X Marks the Spot Foundation was born from love, resilience, and a little girl named Gianna. Gianna, the daughter of Brittany, was diagnosed with autism and hypotonia cerebral palsy. Her journey has illuminated the life-changing potential of equine-assisted therapy—not just as treatment, but as a source of joy, connection, and empowerment.

Inspired by Gianna’s courage, our goal is to build a specialized equine therapy and event facility designed to serve children with physical, neurological, and emotional challenges. This space will offer therapeutic riding, sensory-friendly environments, and inclusive programs where kids like Gianna can thrive, grow stronger, and feel truly seen.

More than just a therapy center, the facility will also act as a community hub—hosting events and generating sustainable funding for our broader mission.

At X Marks the Spot Foundation, we are committed to uplifting children and local communities through:

• Equine-assisted therapy tailored to individual needs
• College fund support to invest in future potential
• Meaningful outreach programs that bring people together and strengthen families

We believe that every child, regardless of diagnosis or circumstance, deserves a place to heal, to dream, and to shine. Gianna is our inspiration—but every child is our mission.
