Dear Sponsor :
The Alamo Dressage Association has committed once again, with great enthusiasm, to host a Rally for
the Cure® “Ride for the Cure” Dressage Horse Show Team Challenge on September 12, 2015 in
conjunction with the San Antonio Fall I & II Recognized Dressage show. Over the past three years the
Alamo Dressage Association Dressage Team Challenge ”Ride for the Cure” has raised over $35,000
for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Rally for the Cure® is a grassroots organization that works to spread awareness about breast health
and breast cancer through golf, tennis and other events. Alamo Dressage, a non-profit organization
dedicated to promoting equestrian sport in San Antonio, is expecting up to 100 participants to
register for the Rally event and invites the public to take part. The day’s activities will include horse
and rider teams performing at all levels of dressage, followed by an awards ceremony at 6:00pm.
Dressage often described as ballet on horseback, is a French word meaning “training” and is one of
the three Olympic Equestrian sports. Prizes will be awarded to the high scoring teams based on their
dressage performance however teams can increase their scores by raising money for Rally.
We invite you to join Alamo Dressage in their efforts by sponsoring a team or competitor
participating at their upcoming Rally or providing prizes for competitors. Your sponsorship will help
raise much-needed dollars for Komen for the Cure as well as demonstrate your support for this great
cause among your fellow community members.
Rally has been supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure®’s commitment to awareness as the first step
in eliminating breast cancer since 1996. Monies generated through Rally entry fees and fundraising
efforts, like Alamo Dressage have produced over $60 million and counting for Komen. Ambassador
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power
to end breast cancer forever. Thanks to organizations like Alamo Dressage and their supporters, Rally
can continue to empower people to spread the life-saving message of early detection in their
communities.
Thank you in advance for your support. Together we are making a difference!
Sincerely,
Arlene Gaitan
Vice President, Alamo Dressage Association
