Palgrave, Ontario – It’s more than just the outstanding competition that draws hundreds of competitors to the Canadian Show Jumping Tournament each year. Running at the Caledon Equestrian Park in Palgrave, ON, from September 19-23, 2012, the annual event also plays host to the Jumping for Dreams Celebration, in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.
Held on Saturday and Sunday, September 22 and 23, the two-day celebration features a number of ways for competitors, spectators and sponsors to get involved and help raise funds for the non-profit foundation dedicated to fulfilling wishes of children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.
“I think we’re one of the only shows that places such a heavy focus on a charity,” said Linda Pabst of Nobleton, ON, a long-time volunteer at the tournament who acts as Chair of the Children’s Wish Jumping for Dreams committee and the Unique Boutiques and Family Village committee. “There are always various aspects to the fundraising we do during the tournament, but it’s a very important cause. All of the volunteers and staff work their hearts and souls out to try and make it an amazing event year after year. The best part is watching it all come together and making these dreams come true.”
