Fifth Annual JustWorld International Training Show and Fundraiser

Wellington, FL – Asian-fusion will be theme of the fifth annual JustWorld International Training Show and Fundraising Dinner taking place on Saturday and Sunday, January 26 and 27, 2008, at Belle Herbe Farm in Wellington, Florida.

The unique fundraising concept gives horses and riders the opportunity to jump on Belle Herbe Farm’s meticulous grass grand prix field, training over courses set by 2008 Olympic course designer Steve Stephens, in exchange for a donation to JustWorld International. In order to accommodate an assortment of horses and riders preparing for the winter show season, fences will be set at heights of 90cm, 1.10m, 1.20m to 1.30m, and 1.40m.

On Saturday evening, guests will join Chairwoman Victoria McCullough for an evening of cocktails, dinner, dancing, entertainment and an auction. This year’s fundraising dinner, which has sold out in past years, will feature a creative Asian-fusion theme in anticipation of the 2008 Hong Kong Olympics. Among the diverse items that will hit the auction block are a jumping lesson with Olympic medalist Norman Dello Joio, a dirt bike donated by Waz, 12 pairs of Sam Edelman shoes, a polo lesson with Brandon Phillips and a sport fishing charter with Westwind Charters.

For the first time, supporter packages will be offered. Gold Supporter packages are available for $15,000 while Silver is $10,000 and Bronze is $5,000. Reserved tables of eight can be purchased for $2,000 per table and individual tickets with open seating are $175. JustWorld International is a recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization and contributions are deductible for income tax purposes to the extent provided by law.

Thanks to the support of Chairwoman Victoria McCullough and Maria Newman’s generous donation of her Belle Herbe facility, monies raised at the fifth annual JustWorld International Training Show and Fundraising Dinner will go directly to helping children at JustWorld project sites in Brazil, Cambodia, Honduras, and Kenya.
