Nancy Later and Ariel Matisse Awarded Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's
2011 Equestrian of the Year

Mary Ann Grant started the Equestrian of the Year competition several years ago to help raise money for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Mary Ann's inspiration for the event comes from the courage she saw in her fellow cancer patients, especially the children and their families. Equestrians of all disciplines and levels commit to raise money to fund important research and patient services for people with leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma. The Equestrian who raises the most money will become the Equestrian of the Year.

To sign up for next year's Equestrian of the Year competition, contact Darby Collins at (888) 478 - 8550 or visit www.lls.org/pbeq.

Charlie and Lisa Tota of Euro American Saddlery (shown right) help to sell our saddle pads and shirts at the horse shows to raise money for the Equestrian of the Year Competition and we would like to thank them for their support.

Nancy Later helps with the fundraising by selling Mr. Positive T-shirts and saddle pads, and collecting items for the silent auction held in February. Anyone wishing to donate items or money should contact Nancy directly.
