"We're half way there!"

We have over $3.5 million in hand.

We believe that the gifts to The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair are much more than an investment in property and buildings or an act of support for the national and international equestrian community. More importantly, each gift is an investment in our community's future and the quality of life we are blessed with here on the Philadelphia Main Line and beyond. Consider the following:

• The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair stands apart as one of the nations oldest and most prestigious outdoor horse shows. Started in 1896, Devon has grown from a one-day event to a 10-day spectacle, drawing competitors and spectators from around the world.
  
• With attendance exceeding 100,000 each May, The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair serves as a boon to the local economy, generating approximately $5 million in revenue each ear for area hotels, restaurants and shops over the 10-day period. The other shows held on the grounds generate another $5 million annually.
  
• Proceeds from the event, as they have since 1919, continue to benefit Bryn Mawr Hospital and its historic mission "To heal the sick, comfort the suffering and conserve the life of the community". Devon has contributed more than $10 million to the hospital over the years; it currently contributes a minimum of $300,000 annually, making it one of the largest fund raising events in support of the hospital.
  
• The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair brings together 3,000 volunteers from all walks of life who work year round in support of the show. Clearly, this is a tangible sign of the pride area residents have in both the show and the hospital, and a worthy outlet for those eager to "give back" to their community.

Why invest in the Continuing the Tradition Campaign? Your generous gift - and the gifts of a number of other key supporters - will ensure that The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair, a valued and beloved Main Line tradition, will flourish as a Devon mainstay for generations to come.
