Ottawa, ON, June 10, 2022 – The recently refreshed Equestrian Canada High Performance Advisory Group, Eventing (HPAG) are thrilled to announce a significant donation from Kelly McCarthy-Maine and Shane Maine toward the urgent fundraising appeal just launched in support of the Canadian eventing team. The campaign “Pratoni. Let’s Go!” has been developed to fill the funding shortfall for the team.
To send a full five-member squad to the FEI World Championships 2022 in Pratoni, Italy, September 14 – 18, 2022, the HPAG needs to raise $250,000. Without raising this money, Canada will be unable to send a full team to the championships. Sending a team is the first opportunity for Canada to qualify for a team allocation for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
