Let’s send a Dressage team to Santiago! The EC High Performance Advisory Group (HPAG), Dressage, is thrilled to announce a fundraising campaign that aims to get a team to the Pan American Games this October. In addition to $25,000 already committed from several dedicated donors, Dressage Committee chair Wendy Christoff’s Family Foundation has committed a matching donation of $20,000 for new donations raised towards the urgent appeal of $60,000 needed to get to Santiago.

When it became known to the Dressage Committee and the HPAG that funds were needed, they immediately stepped into action. Due to their unwavering dedication to dressage in Canada, as well as an understanding of the financial constraints facing sport in our country, they began seeking support. Now, they’re asking the community to join their cause.

“I want to see the Canadian team at international competitions, and I know others do too,” Christoff said. “As a group of dedicated volunteers, we believe in our athletes and our program. I want to encourage everyone who can to join me with matching dollars to boost the campaign,” she continued. “To send our athletes to the Pan American Games in Chile, we need to raise sixty thousand dollars. If our community can match the twenty, we’ll be there!”
