As we gear up for the thrilling 16th edition of the Great Charity Challenge sponsored by Fidelity Investments® (GCC), we are excited to introduce the Palm Beach County non-profits selected to benefit from the largest night of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF).
On December 18, 2024, a lottery selection process was held at Wellington International and streamed live on the Great Charity Challenge Facebook and Instagram pages to determine this year’s non-profit beneficiaries. Each selected organization will be paired with a generous sponsor and a dedicated team of riders to compete for their cause on Saturday, February 1, 2025.
An additional drawing was held on January 9, 2025 with the Village of Wellington's elected officials, adding 5 non-profit organizations to the list of participants.
At stake? A chance to receive up to $100,000 on Saturday, February 1, 2025!
