Equest’s 2023 Blue Ribbon Ball Co-Chairs Lindsay Ballotta and Jenny Merkle have finalized plans for the Equest fundraiser at Texas Horse Park on Saturday, June 3,
This year’s partying in the Al Hill Jr. Arena is being presented by Pendery’s with longtime Equest supporter Kristina and Phil Whitcomb serving as honorary co-chairs.
The Whitcombs have firsthand knowledge and appreciation for Equest since their son is a former Equest client.
Besides photo opps with the Equest equine residents, a highlight of the night of silent and lively auctioning, cocktailing, dining and dancing will be the presentation of the 2023 Citation Award to Nancy and Ron Natinsky, who in addition to having supported Equest for years were “instrumental in the oversite of the construction of the Al Hill Jr. Arena.”
According to Equest CEO Lili Kellogg, “We are so grateful to Pendery’s for their support as presenting sponsor of this year’s Blue Ribbon Ball, with special thanks to Clint Haggerty, Pendery’s fifth-generation general manager and our Equest board co-chair alongside Co-Chair Lisa Loy Laughlin. And we are also delighted to recognize two outstanding couples whose support of Equest is immeasurable – our honorary chairs Kristina and Phil Whitcomb and Citation Award recipients Nancy and Ron Natinsky. Because of their support, Equest continues to fulfill its mission of bringing hope and strengthening through the human horse connection.”
With tables starting at $5,000, individual tickets will be offered later… if there are any available.
