FAST Committed To Cure
Thursday, December 27, 2012
The Foundation for the Advancement and Support of the Tennessee Walking Show Horse (FAST) is committed to aiding in the search for a cure for breast cancer. In just over a year, FAST has donated $3,500 to breast cancer charities including the Williamson Breast Center in Franklin, Tenn. and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
FAST made a decision in 2012 to add performance and pleasure amateur classes that took donations to end breast cancer instead of entry fees. In these “Ride to End Breast Cancer” classes participation has been heavy and in those classes FAST has raised the $3,500 through donations.
“So many women in our industry, as well as across the world, have been affected by breast cancer and we at FAST want to do whatever we can to find a cure for this disease that affects so many,” said Kathy Zeis.
FAST is a 501 (c)3 organization that’s mission is to promote and preserve the Tennessee Walking Show Horse. All donations are tax deductible and are put to immediate use in the industry. For more information or to make a donation visit FAST online at www.FASTWalkingShowHorse.org
