From the Chairman
We continue our goal to offer this Mid-Atlantic Region one of the highest caliber steeplechase races that America has to offer. To meet this standard, we have spent years grooming the race cource and grounds as well as refining the race day activities. I am proud of our organization for achieving its goal of establishing the Willowdale Steeplechase as the important racing event it is today.
With this accomplished, I enlisted the help of a very talented committee of volunteers to help me continue to elevate the Willowdale Steeplechase Water Jump Ball and Auction to the same high level, as an annual fund raising event.
This elegant black tie fundraiser has established itself as “The Spring Event” for horse owners, trainers, riders, corporate professionals, steeplechase and sports enthusiasts. Couples and individuals from Maine to Florida come together for this celebration in anticipation of Race Day.
We have worked hard to secure generous auction items and, to help you prepare for the bidding, we are providing you with this catalogue, a website and the means to submit your bids ahead of the celebration itself.
In advance, I wish to thank all those who have so generously donated their time, expertise and talent to make this auction possible. I greatly appreciate your personal support to help us improve the quality of life for both humans and horses in the greater Delaware Valley.
I look forward to visiting with you.
