Startup Information
Our Goal: Have an event that starts at 10am on the first Saturday of October collect
$10 per person and for fun adorn yourself, your horse, your event in pink.
Join the Hooves for a Cure Group Site to get the latest information and share with
others your ideas and get ideas from other members putting on events. This is a
great place to ask your questions.
Contact us via email at dbriggs@hoovesforacure.com with your address and phone
number. Or fill out the form on the Rides or Contact Us pages. This is to help us try
to keep all events legitimate. If someone contacts us about your event, we can verify
it is one of our events.
1. Choose the type of event you are going to have. You can have a trail ride
(organized or do-your-own thing), play day, pink parade, neighborhood ride, team
penning, or if you stable your horse, maybe a pink day at the barn. Your imagination
is the limit of what you can do.
2. Find a location to hold your event and confirm with those in charge of the
location that is alright to have your event there. Ask if there is any deposits to secure
the location, see if they will donate the charge, if not, take the amount from your
proceeds and send the receipts with your money when your event is complete.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask those around you for help. Ask your family, friends, co-
workers and club associations to help you spread the word. Some of the ladies have
had club organizations want to sponsor their event.
4. Contact us at our website with the following information
5. Advertising
6. One of the best ways we have found is to purchase a Hooves for a Cure T-shirt
with our logo and wear it in our local stores. People will stop you to ask about
“Hooves for a Cure”, so, keep some fliers handy. Remember the profits from this
site will be donated also. http://www.cafepress.com/hoovesforacure
7. After you have your event, go to the group section on the website and share
how your event turned out. We love pictures to post on the website. Convert any cash
into a cashier’s check and mail it, any checks and your registrations to us. We use
the information from the registrations to create a mailing list for the next year. All
events are net proceeds, so deduct your expenses and send the receipts with your
donations.
We do have a Hooves for a Cure Checking account, so please have everyone make
checks out to “HOOVES FOR A CURE”.
The net proceeds will be donated to your local Susan G. Komen Affiliate. We cannot
use their name in any of our printed advertisements; this is due to the liability
insurance they require and advertising requirements to approve each advertisement
with their name. What we can do is tell people where the money will be donated.
People can also put Susan G. Komen on the Note Section of their Checks.

5. Advertising
- a. Look for places to advertise for fee, most radio and TV stations have a
calendar of events that you can list your ride on for free.
b. See if there are any horse online site’s that list rides and other horse
events in your state.
c. Contact other riding clubs in your area to see if you can list your event
on their calendar. Contact your local newspaper to see if they will do an
article about your event for free.
d. Place brochures and fliers around town. Feed stores are a natural
place, but places where people commonly go – such as hair dressers, your
local coffee shop, business’s that cater to women.
