COMMUNITY CARES PARTNERS
The CWHF Community Cares Partner program is our way of acknowledging, highlighting, and thanking local businesses and individuals who support the Corolla Wild Horse Fund and our mission. These partnerships are essential to our cause, enabling us to create shared projects that benefit the horses. Together, we provide goodwill and support to one another while working to keep our beloved Banker horses wild and free.
To participate, we require a minimum annual commitment of $1,000 in funding or in-kind services that will benefit our work. Each Community Cares partner will be featured on our website with links and receive acknowledgment twice a year on CWHF social media channels alongside our other active Community Cares partners.
When the community comes together and partnerships are formed, everyone wins—especially the horses.

That’s why we are honored to support the Corolla Wild Horse Fund and its mission to protect and preserve the iconic wild mustangs of the Outer Banks. These majestic horses are not just a symbol of our region’s history – they are a reminder of the untamed spirit that makes the Outer Banks so special.
By partnering with the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, we aim to ensure these beautiful creatures continue to thrive for generations to come. Together, we can safeguard this cherished piece of Outer Banks heritage and inspire visitors and locals alike to cherish the natural wonders of our home.
Coastal Pickling Company was started in 2022 by husband and wife, Jon and Lindsay Wong, pursuing their love of cooking, and specifically, pickling. Lindsay (a pediatric occupational therapist) and Jon (a dentist anesthesiologist) are residents of both Carova Beach (as much as possible) and also Virginia Beach (where their healthcare business is located). They never imagined that they would be working healthcare by day and pickling by night. It’s turned into a crazy dream come true, that would not be possible without the tremendous amount of support received from the Outer Banks Community – both visitors and locals. Giving back to the northern Outer Banks community that has supported them is such a critical part of their mission. We are honored and grateful to Jon and Lindsay for thinking of CWHF when giving back to the Outer Banks community. Thank you so much for helping us carry out our mission of protecting the wild Bankers. It’s partnerships like this that truly make the difference.

Twiddy & Company Realtors and the Twiddy family are committed to preserving Corolla’s rich history, including Corolla Village and the Corolla Wild Horses. Once an area of deteriorating structures, Doug and Sharon Twiddy recognized the need to restore the buildings in Corolla Village for future generations. The Twiddy family’s dedicated restoration efforts have helped Corolla Village remain authentic as the area nearby has evolved into the beach vacation haven that it is today. There are more historic buildings clustered in Corolla than in any other area of the Outer Banks due to the efforts of the Twiddy family. The horses are an essential part of the past and future of Corolla, so it is only fitting that the Corolla Wild Horse Fund occupies one of the preserved buildings in Corolla Village. In years past, the Corolla Wild Horse Fund has occupied the Corolla Schoolhouse, another structure preserved by Doug and Sharon Twiddy, and currently houses the only public school on the Currituck Outer Banks. The restored Gray-Lewark house in the heart of Corolla Village is now the perfect home for the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Twiddy & Company, along with the Twiddy family, is enthusiastic to partner with and support the efforts of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.
