Think Pink Chinks at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity!
Equestrian News Release
The REIN IN CANCER campaign debuted at last year’s National Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity. Thanks to the generosity of exhibitors, owners and fans, the “Think to Wear Pink” day, sale of wristbands and silent auction items were a hit, raising a substantial amount for the battle against cancer.
In 2008, REIN IN CANCER returns to the Reno Livestock Events Center September 21 – October 5. This time, there will be more fundraising efforts, including a distinctive pair of chinks.
A specially designed set of Commemorative Chinks has been donated by Shorty’s Caboy Hattery to be raffled off to benefit REIN IN CANCER at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity. Tickets will be available at the REIN IN CANCER/Shorty’s Caboy Hattery booth on the concourse at the Snaffle Bit Futurity. Shorty’s is also donating, for the second consecutive year, a special custom-made hat.
“We’re hoping everyone will be just as generous as they were last year,” noted Cheryl Magoteaux of the NRCHA Management Team. “And it’s important to note that – although we often use pink when dealing with breast cancer – this is to benefit all types of cancer.”
The National Reined Cow Horse Association, the governing body of cow horse competition, is responsible for promoting the sport, insuring high standards of competition and educating members and the public about the history and tradition of the cow horse. Through the support of a Corporate Partner family that includes Adequan®, Wayne Hodges 4-Star Trailers and Outlaw Conversions, Bob's Custom Saddles, Cinch, Inc., Classic Equine, Gist Silversmiths, MD Barns, Platinum Performance, Inc., Nutrena, Quarter Horse News & Performance Horse magazine, the Peppermill Hotel/Resort, Fort Dodge West Nile Innovator, Rios of Mercedes, Merial products ULCERGARD and GASTROGARD, Great American Insurance Company and the Silver Legacy Hotel, the association works to keep the vaquero tradition alive in today’s equine industry.
