Almost five thousand people joined the 14th Walk to Cure Diabetes held last Sunday at RIT. The event was hosted and sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation whose aim is to help finding a cure for juvenile diabetes. One of its highlights, apart from the walk, is a fundraising activity. The proceeds will be used for the continuing research and study towards better medication of the disease.
For more than 10 years, the organization was able to gather donations for about $ 1 million through fundraising events. In 2008, around $ 800,000 donations were recorded. They hoped that this year’s event will beat the record.
So far, the event last Sunday is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Rochester chapter of the organization.

(TULSA) – The Breeder’s Invitational Derby, one of the most prestigious competitions in the sport of cutting, will be at the Expo Square May 13-23.
“We are thrilled to bring our show to Tulsa,” said Breeder’s Invitational Executive Director Bob O’Bannon. “The geographic location of Tulsa is ideal for our event because we draw exhibitors from all over the country. It will offer a great opportunity for local residents to come out and see cutting competition at its finest.”
Admission and parking are free to the Breeder’s Invitational Derby, which will feature hundreds of the country’s top horse and rider teams competing for $1.5 million in prize money. Teams will compete from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. on most days during the 11-day run. Western goods from top vendors will also be available for purchase at a daily Western trade show making the BI an appealing event for the entire family.
Cutting is one of the fastest growing equine sports in the world originating from traditional cattle ranches in the American West, where it was the cutting horse’s job to separate cows from the herd for vaccinating, castrating and sorting. During competition, a horse and rider are judged on their ability to separate a calf from a cattle herd and keep it separated for a short period of time. As the calf attempts to return to its herd, the rider loosens the reins and leaves the separating job entirely to the horse.
The Breeder’s Invitational is a nonprofit corporation formed to further promote and enhance the cutting horse industry by producing a major event that offers a very large purse in a top-notch venue. In its first six years of existence, the BI has paid out more than $8 million and is ranked as one of the major events in the industry.
