EQUESTRIAN EVENT ANNOUNCES BENEFICIARIES

Author: CH2 Press Release

The sixth annual Hilton Head/Savannah Equestrian Exposition has announced its beneficiaries for the 2010 event, which will be held Sunday, March 21 at Rose Hill Plantation. Since its inception six years ago over $150,000 has been raised for charity.

Beneficiaries for the 2010 event include: The American Diabetes Association Regional Chapter; Bluffton Historical Preservation Society; Gullah Museum of Hilton Head Island; The Heritage Library; Heroes On Horseback; Savannah College of Art & Design Equestrian Program and Saint Gregory the Great Ministries. Members of these organizations sell sponsorships, program ads and tickets to the event, with proceeds from their sales directly benefiting their individual charity. The event this year will be held in association with the Knights of Columbus Cardinal Bernardini Council #12263.

Says event organizer, Dr. Sandy Termotto, “ Lowcountry horsemen maintain their majestic mounts not only for personal pleasure but also to make the public aware of the equestrian lifestyle and its role in funding charitable causes in the regional community. We hope businesses and individuals will support our beneficiaries in their efforts to raise funds for these worthwhile organizations.”

The event features polo, barrel racing, jumping, fox hunting demonstration, dressage, carriage driving and flat racing.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), now entering their third year , has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, MySpace) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
