Amateur Exhibitor Auction and Competition Fundraiser
Monday, February 22, 2021
The AHHS and AHHS National Futurity committee are organizing a fundraiser. The purpose of this fundraiser is to raise money for the Futurity, while creating a fun interactive way to include owners and trainers, encourage people to show, and create new interest in the Futurity.
We are seeking 10-20 amateur exhibitors willing to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Each amateur would compete from March 15 to November 1, 2021. During this time period, the amateurs will accumulate points by winning classes throughout the time frame (even one entry classes count towards a win). The amateur with the most wins as of November 1 will be declared the winning amateur. The person who “purchased” the winning amateur will receive 50% of the total amount raised in the auction and the Futurity will receive the other 50%. The winning amateur exhibitor will receive a prize and each exhibitor participating will receive a participation prize as well. The standings of each amateur will be updated throughout the year via various online and/or print platforms.
We are also seeking volunteers to assist the Futurity Committee, Melissa Moore, chairperson, with running the program. Organizers, point keepers, recruiters, and prize solicitors are needed now.
If you are interested in being involved with organizing and administered this exciting new fundraiser or you are an amateur exhibitor and wish to participate in this fun and competitive program, please email Taylor Gregory at [email protected] or Melissa Moore at [email protected] for details on how you can help!
