Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Benefit in Florida
There are so many fundraisers every winter in Wellington, but among my favorites is the Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Benefit which is taking place this coming Friday evening at the International Polo Club in Wellington, Florida. The fun begins at 6:30 pm and includes cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and dinner entertainment. But most importantly, seeing the kids’ smiles light up the evening as they talk about what riding and horses have meant to their lives. Below is a letter from one of the Vinceremos Benefit organizers, Tuny Page as well as the link to their website. Please support this wonderful organization!
This is such a great event on a variety of levels. First of all it includes EVERY part of our industry: The donors are vendors of virtually all horse related products and professionals who provide services to the horse industry. These individuals have continued their support of Vinceremos despite a difficult economic climate and are ever enthusiastic about our program.
Our sponsors and guests use this great avenue to support Vinceremos by buying a table at the event, purchasing items or adopting a Vinceremos horse for a year. Many times new relationships are created when a supporter tries a product or service that is new or different to them. It is absolutely a win, win situation.
Another important point is that this is the epidemey of a local charity. All the money raised at this event is used to fuel the day to day operations of Vinceremos hence those funds are re-circulated to the local suppliers of feed, hay, tack, etc., and the funds help to pay the local veterinarians, farriers and riding instructors. Again, it is truly a win, win!
Naturally the true winners are the kids and adults whose lives are transformed by these incredible horses. We know the magic that can happen when a horse teaches you something and Vinceremos is making this a possibility for people that need it the most and may not otherwise have the chance.
For the past five years there has been such generosity demonstrated by our community that the Vinceremos Center is sitting on the funds neccessary to complete the building of their own covered arena and FINALLY the newly incorporated Village of Loxahatchee is going to release our permits to go forward with this building project. This expansion should be complete within a year. What an honor it has been for me to be part of this time of growth at the center.
