Awards Gala

 

An annual celebration of the year’s award winners and GDCTA’s largest fundraising event. An opportunity for all to mix, mingle, sparkle and shine!

 

GDCTA holds an annual gala honoring GDCTA dressage and combined training competition winners. It begins with a cash bar reception, followed by dinner and an awards ceremony. Additionally, attendees have a chance to take a chance in the Barn Basket Raffle and to bid on fabulous items in a silent auction. The annual Awards Gala is GDCTA’s major fundraising event with proceeds earmarked for clinics, shows, forums, and more. The Awards Gala is a great way for members to show their support for the dressage and eventing community in Georgia.
