It’s time for the 10th annual Blue Ridge Hunter Jumper Association “Hunter Derby” in support of St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. Come join the fun and support St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation at the same time!

The Hunter Derby will be held Friday, June 16, from 5:30 – 8 pm at FENCE in Tryon, N.C. This year’s event promises to be fun for the entire family with a caricature artist, build your own ice cream sundae, barbecue and fixins’ and don’t forget… the exciting jumper competition. 

Individual tickets are now available, or consider sponsoring a ringside tented table for eight. What a great way to entertain out-of-town guests, grandchildren, friends and neighbors! Checks should be made payable to the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation and may be mailed to the foundation at 89 West Mills Street, Suite B, Columbus, NC 28722. Tickets are available at the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation office or you can call 828-894-2693.

All proceeds will benefit the Discretionary Fund at St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. This fund will enable the foundation to exercise discretionary spending when evaluating and purchasing small equipment items, facilitating required equipment repairs, or accommodating other unplanned expenses that develop during the course of the hospital’s fiscal year. •
