A new fundraiser for The Georgie Campbell Foundation, started in honor of British 5* rider Georgie Campbell in the wake of her passing last spring, has kicked off this week. There are loads of options for prizes you can put raffle tickets toward, all supporting the important work of the Foundation to support early stage event riders in establishing and running their eventing businesses through the provision of tailored mentorship, training, and grants in areas including financial management and attracting and retaining staff, owners, and sponsors. The Foundation also seeks to help improve the safety of the sport of eventing.
Up for grabs are things like exclusive Membership access to Badminton and Burghley this year, a private lesson and yard tour with Kitty King or Tom Jackson, behind-the-scenes access with riders like Harry Meade, and much more. Check out the full prize listing here.
