Equestrian of the Year 2009

Equestrians of all disciplines and levels commit to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The equestrian who raises the most funds will be named the 2009 "Equestrian of the Year".

Each participant will be given the necessary materials, encouragement and motivation to begin their six months of fundraising.

Prizes will be presented to the top fundraisers at a special awards ceremony at the 7th Annual Cocktail Party and Silent Auction on February 12, 2009.

Additionally, all participants will receive their name on the poster.

Getting Started
When you register, you will receive a fundraising handbook full of great ideas and examples of materials. The Society's staff will be available to assist you throughout your fundraising campaign. We will also create your own personal on-line fundraising website where people can contribute to your campaign through credit card donations.  If you have any questions, please contact Darby Collins at (888) 478-8550 or (561) 775-9954 ext. 14 or Mary Ann Grant at (561) 301-5817.

Please join us at the following 2009 event:

  • February 12, 2009

The equestrian community is invited to an evening of Cocktails and Hors d'oeuvres at 6 p.m. Meet participants, bid on the silent auction and learn more about the Society's mission. Also, you won't want to miss when we announce the 2009 "Equestrian of the Year". $100 Suggested donation will be accepted at the door.
