We the members of the Germantown Charity Horse Show are excited about our 63rd annual event scheduled for June 7-11 this year. Come see it for yourself.

We are experiencing the same economic down turn as most Americans. However, as members, we are committed to keeping this Horse Show as one of the top events in the community. We ask you to help us by being a Sponsor of the Germantown Charity Horse Show. There are many levels from which to select and publicity for your business or organization based on that level.

This horse show is one of the oldest all breed shows in the country. We anticipate 750 to 800 horses this year with competitors from 15 states. With each horse comes a rider, trainer, groom, and a parent or friend, which means a documented economic impact of $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 dollars to Germantown and Shelby County each year. You can benefit from these new customers too.

The Germantown Charity Horse Show selects a charity each year. The last 13 years our charity has been The Exchange Club Family Center. Their mission is to break the cycle of child abuse and neglect by replacing abusive and violent behavior with family rehabilitation and effective parenting skills. The Family Center realized over $40,000 from the 2009 show alone. Our charity has and always will support children’s charities.

The impact of our donation to our charity is great, but I feel the impact that the Germantown Charity Horse Show has on the entire Shelby County community is equally as important. Our event is the oldest sporting event in all of Shelby County. It is a great event in a relaxed atmosphere for the whole family showing some of the finest horses and riders in the country.

Please join us and become a part of a great annual event for the right reasons.

Sincerely,

Susan Winn
Vice President
