Larry Lawrence, Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Tech

Please, forward this fundraising opportunity from the Virginia Is For Horse Lovers program to 4-H horse club leaders and other horse groups.

I am writing to introduce you to the Virginia Is For Horse Lovers program, a promotional campaign designed to attract visitors to Virginia, build an image as the premier horse state, and attract national and international equestrian events. The multi-faceted marketing plan includes television broadcasts, a fulfillment piece, a web site, direct mail, media promotions, and a full line of exciting premium merchandise.

Help your club raise money by using the Virginia Is For Horse Lovers merchandise. It is available to be used in conjunction with your logo or alone. You might consider ordering the T-shirts for upcoming events, fund-raisers, or your own promotional programs.
