Planning of the Willowdale Steeplechase

For the past 3 years, I have just begun carrying a tradition every Mother's Day to plan and design the landscape for the Winners Circle on the day of the race as well as plantings for the Water Jump Ball and Auction on Friday night. It is a black tie fundraiser for a non-profit group that provides therapy to kids with special needs, a veterinary surgical facility that treated the Philly native, Barbaro after the Preakness Stakes race and a fresh water treatment facility.

I have really appreciated this race, and the fundraising that happens especially towards, Quest Therapeutic Services, Inc., since my little nephew, Luke who has special needs out in Park City, Utah has benefited and loved every moment of his therapy on a horse.

The company I am with now, W.D. Wells & Associates is bending over backwards to help this cause out, by volunteering all its time and energy to see this weekend take off. We will be providing the Winner's Circle where the champion horses will receive their pictures Sunday, and will also be providing decoration in way of trees for the tent, Friday night at he Water Jump Ball and Auction.

It's a great day to bring the family, tailgate from the back of your car with lunch, throw the football or frisbee and watch some pretty incredible races. W.D. Wells & Associates will also have an exhibit in the Shoppes Tent, so you can get more of an idea of who we are and what we are capable of of designing and building.

I am proud to be a part of The Willowdale Steeplechase and help in anyway possible in years to come.
