Saturday we had our annual Saddle Up for St Jude event. While it was cold, windy, and rainy; we still had a great time raising money for St Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
So many people helped to make this possible!
Our instructors Paige Tillison, Nora Walters, Jennifer Smith, Addysun Seaton-Canfield, Abby Nixon, and Ariana Shaffer all donated their time to work with their students to collect money and froze all day working with horses, students, and the weather.
Amanda Livingston and Misty Peters helped keep things flowing in the arena.
Joe Williams, Davin Goins, Calvin Davey, and Nate Livingston worked to park everyone and keep them out of the mud as much as possible.
Beth Hamm, Suzanne Willoughby, Frank Walters & Kim Walters worked hard at the food table. So many people donated snacks and finger foods. We apologize for not having all the names but know you are appreciated.
Marco’s Pizza Johnson City donated 30 pizzas!
Jersey Mike’s Subs of Jonesborough donated 34 sandwiches.
More to come but know that we could not do this without all of these people and businesses coming together. We don’t have a total yet but it will be over $20,000 that we raise this year.
