The inaugural winner of Angelstone’s Commitment to Educate is Paula Turnbull of East Garafraxa, ON.
Angelstone’s Commitment to Educate program awards a $7500 scholarship to a youth in the community. Qualification for the scholarship is attained by attending events throughout the Tournament season and choosing favourite riders to finish in the top three placements in the Grand Prix events.
All qualifiers had their names put forward into a draw on Saturday evening before the Grand Prix where the riders drew a name from a hat and rode for the youth whose name they drew
The youth who was paired with the winning rider was the recipient of a $7500 scholarship. In this case, Paula’s name was drawn by Yann Candele who has been on a hot streak since returning from the 2012 Olympic Games. Yann said after the event “This program Angelstone has put in place is incredible. University continues to get more expensive, and to give away a scholarship to someone in the community is amazing! This program also encourages kids to come out and cheer on their favourite riders”.
Angelstone is looking to grow the program in 2013 as we will offer more events and more chances for youth to qualify for the 2013 Commitment to Educate program.
