Waredaca is launching a new program to honor its dear friend and supporter, the late Jimmy Wofford.

The Waredaca Eventing Education Foundation (WEEF), a 501(c)(3) charity, was formed with the mission to support eventing education at Waredaca Farm. The Foundation's first project is the creation of The Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund to promote eventing education. This fund will reward one adult amateur and one junior whose intention is to train and compete in the Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event in October. The vision is for this to be an ongoing, perpetual scholarship that will honor Wofford and keep the spirit of the three-day long format.

Wofford was a strong supporter of the long format in general, and the Waredaca Classic Three-Day in particular, and was a regular presence at the Waredaca's monthly Expert Days until very recently. The team at Waredaca and the Foundation are thrilled that Wofford's wife, Gail, has given her enthusiastic blessing to this effort, "especially because I know how Jim always encouraged the long format competitions," she said.

You can find more information on WEEF, the Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund, and the scholarships here.

The application for this scholarship can be accessed on the Jimmy Wofford Legacy Fund page.
