On the heels of exceptional performances from U.S. equestrian teams and athletes at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, the United States Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation hosted an extraordinary benefit event on Friday, January 19, 2024, at Five Rings Farm in Wellington, Florida. The “Victory in Versailles” gala raised critical funds to support the U.S. equestrian teams that are headed for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, France.

“The ‘Victory in Versailles’ gala was a celebratory fundraising event crucial to ensuring our athletes have a world-class program leading up to the Games and a performance-enhancing environment in Versailles, where the equestrian events are hosted, that will help our teams bring home Olympic and Paralympic medals,” continued Jenkins.

“Victory in Versailles” was hosted by honorary chairmen Patti Scialfa and Bruce Springsteen, as well as several discipline chairmen, an athlete host committee, and benefit committee members. The event started with a cocktail hour followed by dinner. The evening continued with the keynote program, a live auction, and live entertainment from The Legends of the Voice, a premier band comprising vocal performances from the stars of NBC’s hit show “The Voice,”.
