Each
year, the Congress
Queen Contest at the All American Quarter Horse Congress hosts several
events to benefit cancer survivors, including an auction during the Masters.
This
year, the Congress Queen Contest is sponsoring the third annual Congress Goes
Pink day on Saturday, October 20th. Everyone, from judges and ring stewards to
spectators and exhibitors are encouraged to wear pink in support of cancer
patients, survivors and their families.
The
Congress Queen’s Program has raised more than $200,000 to date benefitting
cancer survivors. This year, the program is supporting a Columbus-based
organization, Nellie’s Catwalk For Kids.
Founded in 2007, their main fundraiser is a fashion show that now features 300
models, and 3,000 guests, which promotes awareness of childhood cancer to the
community.
NC4K
works year-round to help pediatric cancer patients and their families both
financially and emotionally with rent/mortgage support, gas cards, meals,
family outings, crafts and more.
The
All American Quarter Horse Congress and Congress Queen’s Contest is proud to
support Nellie’s Catwalk For Kids and pediatric cancer patients, survivors and
their families throughout the world.
