EventSite.News.NewsListPage.ReadMore
With a focus on empowering our local communities, the Great Charity Challenge sponsored by Fidelity Investments® (GCC) is an exciting show jumping event that blends equestrian sports and philanthropy, bringing hope to over 50 Palm Beach County charities every year. Founded following the 2008 economic crisis, as a way to increase funding to local non-profits, the 2024 edition distributed a record-breaking $2.25 million to Palm Beach County non-profits.
The GCC encourages non-profits to take a sustainable approach by awarding unrestricted funding, giving non-profits the ability to choose exactly how the grant will be best utilized to align with their long-term strategy. A minimum of 75% of all distributed funds is guaranteed to remain and serve local communities. Donations were released upon a thorough review of their intended fund use plans (click here to view the compiled file); complementary quarterly reports will also update donors and the community at large of the progress/achievements being made locally.
Donations and sponsorships from local families, foundations, businesses, vendors, equestrians, and visitors, ranging from $5 to $200,000, are what makes the event reach its fundraising goal of $1+ million every year. As 2024 approaches, a clarion call echoes across Palm Beach County, urging individuals and businesses alike to #BeTheChange, to build upon the GCC's legacy, and to drive the event towards its audacious $2 million goal.
