Description

Dear Donors,

4-H is a nationwide organization that offers a wide range of hands-on educational opportunities to any school age youth. We also focus on building leadership skills and community involvement. The horse project is just one of the opportunities available to kids, regardless of ability or horse ownership. 

The Racine County 4-H Horse Project offers our 45 youth members monthly educational workshops, several hands-on horse clinics in the spring, a weekend horse camp in the summer, and a week at our county fair showing what they've learned. One of our goals is to keep cost from becoming a barrier for any child to participate, which is why we offer our program free to the kids and why the success of our annual fundraising event is so important. 

Our Tack Sale & Silent Auction takes over the majority of Yorkville school in Union Grove, WI for a day. We pack the gym with vendors selling horse tack and all kinds of treasures for those who love animals, the outdoors, and everyday life. We also aim to offer a large silent auction with something for everyone to desire and bid on. We would sincerely appreciate a donation to be featured in our silent auction. We traditionally garner around 500 attendees from SE Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. We will gladly post your donation on our event Facebook page to both show our gratitude and encourage people to attend our event. Additionally, we would gladly include your logo on our banner during the Racine County Fair thanking all of our supporters if you send it in 20-50 MB & in PNG, JPG, or BMP format. We do advertise our event on social media throughout the horse community and local community in SE Wisconsin. So while someone may or may not be able to attend, many will see the companies we thank as donations come in. 

Thank you for helping us maintain and grow the Racine County 4-H Horse Project with your donation.
