We greatly appreciated your support of the Duquesne University Equestrian Team's crowdfunding campaign in 2019 and wanted to inform you that our 2020 campaign has launched at www.spirit.duq.edu/duet20!

This semester, we are unable to practice as a team due to COVID. Even though we are not regularly competing and practicing, your donation is more important than ever. Without a regular season, the normal cash inflow and outflow does not occur. Your donation is crucial to providing us with the funds necessary to see a spring semester show season.

If you are able, we hope you will renew your support by making a gift to this year's campaign here - www.spirit.duq.edu/duet20. Even a gift of $10 helps. Sharing our campaign page with family and friends is another way to help us reach our goal.

Thank you for your consideration and support!

I want to convey a HUGE thank you to everyone who had donated to our campaign. With your help we were able to raise $2,650. Although we did not reach our goal, I am ecstatic and overjoyed that we raised that much. With your help I am confident that we will be able to cover our expenses, like co-hosting a horse show, competing at horse shows, and travel to practices and horse shows. I am very appreciative of your support for our season and hope that you will keep up with the team’s accomplishments.

To keep up with the team please:

We would love to meet each and every one of you or see you at our lessons and shows. Please contact me at thackerr@duq.edu if you are planning to attend or if you ever visit campus so we can make plans!

Our show schedule this year is:

THANK YOU for your support of the Duquesne University Equestrian Team! Your gift helps take the costs off of us to be part of this special group. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our fans. So far, our crowdfunding campaign has raised $2,210 from 28 donors – 73% of our goal!

With six days left in the campaign, we need your continued support to help us reach our $3,000 goal. Please share our campaign page with anyone who might be interested in support our cause. Simply take a moment to post our link - www.spirit.duq.edu/duet19 - on social media or share via e-mail or text message. This final push can help us get 100% funded!

Our season is off to a great start and a successful crowdfunding campaign will further add to the success of our program.
