GMHA Cross-Country Upgrade Project

South Woodstock, VT - October 28, 2011 - An exciting aspect of the Cross-Country Upgrade Project is that it has allowed for individuals and businesses to become involved in creative and beneficial ways with GMHA and Area I eventing. We’ve heard from many people who tell us they donated to the project because they want to help preserve the GMHA’s reputation as one of the premier venues in the country. Businesses see the fantastic potential in associating their goods and services with a great facility that offers tremendous exposure with over 10,000 visitors per year across multiple disciplines.

One of the most successful Vermont companies, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, is sponsoring the newly designed, GMCR-themed main water complex, located between the dust bowl and the Walker ring. Owners Bob and Christine Stiller have a long history with GMHA as their daughter, Jules, grew up riding and competing there. Christine writes, “This is a very exciting opportunity for us and we are already looking forward to watching the first horse through the new water complex.” Jules, too, has come onboard as a sponsor of the soon-to-be-built stonewall and ditch complex, funded under her Headley Stud banner.

Individual sponsor Jennifer Eddy and family had fun imagining a carved wood squirrel family and woodland theme being created thanks to their donation, while Jamie Fields and her eventing family are supporting footing upgrades and Diane Thompson has targeted the final water complex with their sponsor dollars.

There are plenty of sponsorship opportunities left, including new jumps for the dust bowl tree-line, reshaping approaches to jumps, revetting and drainage, a bridge to be built over the final water crossing, and portables for all levels. To discuss your vision and how you or your business might become involved, please call Molly Hutchins at 802 457 1509. For more information on sponsorship, download the Upgrade brochure, which can be found on GMHA’s website.
