As well as raising much-needed funds, COTA provides a fun-filled evening with great entertainment for spectators.
“I think that the Challenge has evolved as one of the best, if not the best, benefit events of the year,” Juliano said. “To me, it is a perfect combination of attractions. You’re doing something that will help others along with the additional benefit of enjoying a very good time. It also has become so popular that many people from our community attend across the disciplines, not just from dressage. It’s always wonderful to see old friends and make new ones.”
COTA also allows those affected by the disease to come together to share their experiences as well as work towards a cure.
“This provides us with a common place to express ourselves,” Juliano said. “This is a place where people who are survivors can celebrate and a place for those of us who have lost people to relate to one another. My hope is that it would be a comfort for those who are directly struggling with the disease.”
Fast Facts
The 2015 Challenge of the Americas, presented by Deloitte, is a spectacular event in which teams of high-performance dressage riders compete in intricate quadrilles set to world-class music and choreography. For the 2015 edition, teams will also include elite show jumpers competing to rack up more points for their teams.
This annual fundraiser is a one-of-a-kind affair. Competing riders include the “Who’s Who” of top equestrian competitors in the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe. The 2015 Challenge of the Americas will once again raise money to help find a cure for breast cancer by benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through their partner Play for P.I.N.K.
