The Mission
...of the Derby at the Country Village & Museum is to use a high quality, charitable equestrian event to showcase
Upstate New York’s rich equine tradition; the express purpose being to raise funds for select charities in the
Buffalo, Rochester and Finger Lakes area and to nurture growth and vitality within the equine community.
Our Cause
We have chosen the Rochester Women’s Giving Circle (RWGC) as our featured charity for the inaugural Derby set
for June 2014. Since 2007, the RWGC has grown from five founding members to currently 121 members who each
donate at least $1000 per year. In its six-year history, this group of philanthropic citizens has combined their
financial strength to make annual grants to programs and organizations in Monroe County that help women and
girls achieve their goals and take control of their lives by becoming economically independent.
A Model of Efficiency
RWGC is unique with its “money-in, money-out” philosophy. There is virtually no overhead, almost 100 percent
of the dollars donated from members go directly to the not-for-profit organizations it supports. To date, the RWGC
has granted over $460,000. These dollars have directly benefitted over 3000 women and girls through training,
education and/or direct services.
Worthy of Praise
During this year’s grant breakfast, the RWGC granted $132,000 to 11 agencies supporting economic stability for
women and girls. During the breakfast, Rochester Mayor Tom Ryan, County Executive Maggie Brooks and
Congresswoman Louise Slaughter shared delightfully surprising comments about their experiences working with
the Giving Circle. “Remarkable,” “beacon of light,” along with acknowledgement and praise on how it is “…so
important to make every dollar count,” were just a few highlights.
The Derby at the Country Village & Museum is excited to help this amazing group of philanthropists because they
impact so many different groups in such a diversity of ways year after year. We feel that we can leverage the
RWGC’s standards of efficiency and excellence in due diligence to be most impactful with our sponsor’s dollars.
We encourage you to learn more by visiting the RWGC website at www.therwgc.org.

The Event
For lovers of horses, history, philanthropy and fun: We invite you to join us on June 7th and 8th, 2014 for
the inaugural charity Hunter Derby at the Genesee Country Village & Museum.
Come join us for a day of unforgettable excitement, exceptional elegance and wonderful food as we
watch the highest caliber of equine athletes and their riders compete for $35,000 over a challenging
vintage hunt course.
Why a Derby?
Fox hunting is the hunter discipline’s true origins. In a fox hunt, horses must be athletic, sure-footed and
brave to help their riders navigate the challenges of natural obstacles and irregular terrain. Today, the
hunter ring rewards horses with a calm demeanor and precise, fluid movements over fences on
manicured footing over a course with predictable patterns. A Hunter Derby is designed to bring the
hunter discipline closer to its true origins. Courses are larger and built to encourage daring, bravery and
athleticism from horse and rider: qualities that are needed in a hunt field.
Location
Staged in the Great Meadow at the Genesee Country Village & Museum in the gorgeous Finger Lakes
region of Western New York, this derby is designed to showcase the spirit of a traditional hunt field.
Your attendance and support benefits the Museum and the Rochester Women’s Giving Circle and keeps
our region’s long and proud equine tradition fresh and alive for future generations to enjoy.

Derbies with the highest caliber of riders. The competition will be viewed from the comfort of the wellappointed Champion and Horseman Tents. Derby sponsorships include tables in the Champion’s tent
