Hello all.
Myself and 3 friends are beginning our fundraising efforts to help support our goal of travelling to Kentucky in October 2015 to compete in the Hagyard MidSouth Team Challenge (www.hagyardmidsouth.com). We have heard and seen the magic and fun that is the Hagyard MidSouth 3Day & Team Challenge Horse Trial and we are finally at a place where we have the horse power to qualify for the event. Now, we just need the support. As amateur eventers we work full time to support our families and our hobby. We are blessed to be able to have and show horses - and regularly give back to our local equine community. This includes helping youth, and volunteering for the local Pony Club. There is a lot of sacrifice to be made to keep these dreams alive.
The members of our team are myself, Erica Cobb (Colborne), Tori Myers (Napanee), and Dana Glass (Belleville).
We will be conducting a silent auction via the internet/Facebook to help raise funds; to do so we are looking for donations of items, gift cards, etc. Really anything that is worthy of auction. Anyone who donates will have their name/business featured on our personal and business Facebook pages, websites and blogs (all of which get 10,000+ hits a month combined), promoted via Twitter, as well as have banners/advertisements hung at our stabling area at MidSouth.
If you would like to donate to help our cause, it would be greatly appreciated.
Alternately, we also have a GoFundMe website (http://www.gofundme.com/g26kas), where donations of monetary value can be made.
I can be contacted via email at katie.buxton@live.ca with any questions, etc.
Thank you,
Katie Buxton
