Beloved Boston meteorologists Matt and Danielle Noyes are set to receive the 2025 Spirit of Giving Award from Challenge Unlimited at Ironstone Farm. The couple will be honored during the organization’s annual gala on November 1, 2025, at the Andover Country Club.
Often referred to as New England’s “power couple of weather,” the Noyeses are being recognized not only for their professional excellence in meteorology but also for their deep-rooted commitment to community service. Their involvement with Ironstone Farm spans more than 15 years, during which Matt has served as a frequent emcee and auctioneer at fundraising events—helping to raise more than $750,000 to support the farm’s therapeutic programs.
“Matt and Danielle are more than friends of the farm—they are part of our herd,” said Kerri Whalen, Executive Director of Ironstone Farm. “Their dedication to our mission, their love for the Merrimack Valley community, and their generous spirits embody exactly what the Spirit of Giving Award stands for.”
In addition to their media work, Matt and Danielle are the founders of 1DegreeOutside, a meteorology consulting company that provides tailored weather forecasts, educational programs, and a user-friendly weather app designed to keep communities informed and prepared.
The Spirit of Giving Gala will spotlight the life-changing impact of Ironstone’s work, which uses horse-assisted therapy to support individuals with physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges, including veterans, children with disabilities, and those battling illness.
The public is invited to attend the gala and celebrate the Noyeses’ contributions. Tickets and more information will be available beginning June 1 at www.ironstonefarm.org.
Ironstone Farm, founded in 1983 and based in Andover, continues to enrich lives through innovative therapeutic programs powered by the unique bond between people and horses.
