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!
