Brooke USA Foundation returns to Southern Pines on Wednesday, October 30th at 6pm with Robin Greenwood hosting a VIP garden reception at her farm on Old Mail Road. A top breeder and trainer of pony hunters, Greenwood will lead fundraising efforts to support Carolinas communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. Bobby Costello, local resident and Technical Advisor for the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team, will serve as guest of honor, sharing insights from the 2024 Olympics and answering questions.

Brooke USA’s Hurricane Relief Fund, activated after the storm’s catastrophic effects in western North Carolina, aims to support equestrian communities—both human and equine—affected by the disaster. In partnership with Equestrian Aid Foundation, EQUUS Foundation, and Fleet of Angels, the fund will provide essential aid such as first aid, food and veterinary supplies.

Guests can donate to Brooke USA’s Hurricane Relief Fund during the reception. Tickets are $100 per person or $150 per couple.
