"Giving Back" to the Horse Industry:

            Win/Win revenue opportunity for non-profit horse groups and associations

Through our "Giving Back" program your group's efforts in helping to spread the word about the Virginia Equine Extravaganza will pay off for your organization in real dollars. Read on....

What is Giving Back? 

Our Giving Back program, which we instituted in 2004, gives clubs and associations a group discount in the form of revenue back to the organization. 

A large part of the mission of the Equine Extravaganza is to have a positive impact on the horse industry. In addition to providing an educational platform for industry groups and associations, we also want to give back to the groups and organizations that make up and contribute to this huge and diverse industry. We wanted to find a way to effectively make a difference for as many horse-related groups as possible, regardless of size or interest.  Rather than attempt the virtually impossible task of identifying one or two organizations that we would like to help, (we could never choose) we believe that we have found a win/win solution which will help us maximize the overall contribution to the industry, will include the support and participation of potentially every attendee, will be driven by the effort and determination of the participating organizations and will help us with the critical task of spreading the word about our show.  Through our innovative flyer program, "Giving Back", we hope to help an unprecedented number of non-profit horse groups share in and contribute to the success of the Equine Extravaganza.

Here's how it works:
Equine Extravaganza is offering horse related non-profit clubs and organizations the opportunity to earn revenue by distributing flyers for the Extravaganza.   These flyers will be personalized with the name of each club and can be distributed to the group's supporters and to any horse enthusiasts that they come in contract with.  The flyers will pledge $2.00 of the admission to our event, on behalf of the bearer of the flyer, to be given back to the organization that distributed the flyer to begin with. 

How to participate:
Any non-profit horse-related organization can apply to participate in our "Giving Back" program.  Download the application and mail it with a copy of your non-profit certificate to the Equine Extravaganza, 640 Owl Ct.  Arnold, MD, 21012.

If your organization meets the qualifications for participation (non-profit, horse-related) we will create a personalized flyer for your organization to distribute to friend and supporters.  We will email the flyer to your group and you can print as many copies as you can distribute.  When the flyer is presented at the gate, $2.00 will automatically be assigned to your club.  At the end of the show you club or organization will receive $2.00 for each flyer we receive with you name on it!  It's that simple.  

For example, lets say your Pony Club or 4H Club has 20 members.  We will create a flyer with your club's name on it and an explanation of our "Giving Back" program.  We will send a file of this flyer, via email, that can be downloaded, printed and distributed by the club members.  Club members can give flyers to their friends, other horse associates or even complete strangers at other horse events.  Each person who comes to the Extravaganza and presents the flyer will help that club or organization earn $2.00.  If each of the 20 members distributes 10 flyers that are then turned in at the event: that club will earn $40.00!  40 flyers = $80.00.  And so on!  It is that simple.  

Why "Giving Back" is so important
This is our industry, collectively, and it is only through mutual support and encouragement that we will continue to build a strong foundation from which to facilitate continued and purposeful growth.  The Equine Extravaganza hopes that our attendees will embrace this idea with the same passion that they embrace their equestrian ventures, and realize the incredibly significant impact that this effort can have on the horse industry in a very personal way.  We have the potential to facilitate the contribution of tens of thousands of dollars back into our local horse industry and directly into the very organizations that implement the program. 

If you are a member of a non-profit club or association who would like to participate in the Equine Extravaganza "Giving Back" program, we want to hear from you!   Please contract us to find out more about our event and how your group can take part and earn revenue in the process, or download the application and get started.

NOTE:   Only one flier is eligible for a 3-Day ticket and must be turned in on the first day the ticket is used.

Fliers may not be distributed on Equine Extravaganza grounds the weekend of the event. Remember, the goal is to help spread the word of the event "before" the event.  Any club distributing flyers on the grounds the day of the event will be disqualified.
