Claire Binkowski sent GoHorseShow.com a quick note thanking everyone who helped with the Never Compromise charity benefit at Tulsa March Mania:
I want to thank everyone who participated in the Never Compromise Charity Benefit Raffle for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Whether you donated items or bought tickets you have helped to make the dreams of children with life-threatening conditions come true. On first count of the tickets, it appears we sold just under 3,300. With the matching donation that will be made by Never Compromise, together we will have raised over $6,500! I must say, that it was a privilege to meet Ethan (the “wish kid” who came and rode) and his family.
We all take far too much for granted in our lives, especially those of us involved in the horse industry. It was truly a gratifying and humbling experience to see the smile on Ethan’s face as he rode around the arena, and to hear the story of how hard he has worked and how far he has come to be able to do that. It doesn’t matter how many points he earns, prizes he wins, or foals he sires; Never Compromise’s greatest accomplishment will always be the smile he put on the face of a very special little boy, who in return touched our lives more than he will ever know. But none of this would have been possible without each and every person who participated. Thank you for reaching into your hearts and helping us make dreams come true.
