This year’s Pomfret Hunter Pace is offering an opportunity to help those in our community who are battling cancer. Registered Pomfret Hunter Pace riders can also choose to participate in Pace for a Purpose to benefit

DAY KIMBALL HEALTHCARE Deary Memorial Cancer Fund

With the addition of Pace for a Purpose, riders are now offered an element to make this event even better: the knowledge that they are helping local cancer patients who are in need of treatment such as mammograms, chemotherapy, medications, and other services and don’t have the resources to obtain them. Riders who raise a minimum of $50.00 in donations will receive a special thank you gift. The highest fundraiser will receive a gift certificate for a portrait of their horse by equine artist, Helen Scanlon. A special benefit drawing open to all will also be held on the day of the event.
