The Carolina Horse Park needs help getting winter-ready … can you help? This Saturday, Jan. 8 is Cleanup Day at the Park — shifts are available from 9 a.m. to noon, 1 p.m. to 3, and full-day. You can sign up here.
The Park appreciates its volunteers and shows its love with plenty of perks. On the day of, hospitality will include drinks throughout the day, a light breakfast and lunch. You can also earn “Park Points” for discounts on any CHP organized event or program — a 30-point voucher (full day volunteering) = $30 discount, and a 15 points voucher (1/2 day volunteering) = $15 discount. You can also redeem points via the Volunteer Merchandise Catalog.
Another way volunteers are honored is through CHP’s Volunteer Excellence Awards. Based on hours worked, the top 10 volunteers, top Jr. volunteer, top newcomer volunteer and top dressage/XC/SJ volunteers will be honored at the November War Horse Competitor Luncheon. These Volunteer Award winners will be formally recognized and receive their awards at the Southern Pines Equine Associates Volunteer Appreciation & Awards Party (date TBD), reflecting the degree of dedication and volunteerism of CHP’s entire volunteer corps.
