Each year Standardbred Canada produces a four-colour souvenir program for the O’Brien Awards.

The program is distributed to everyone attending the O’Brien Black Tie Gala. Traditionally, ads are purchased by racetracks, industry associations, suppliers to congratulate the nominees, and owners of the nominees to thank the voters and/or team of people involved in their horse’s success.

Full-page, four-colour ads are available for purchase in the program at a cost of $600 plus HST.

The deadline for booking an ad in the O’Brien program is Wednesday, January 9. To book an ad, please contact Kathy Wade Vlaar at [email protected] or 905-858-3060 (Ext. 207).

Tickets for the O’Brien Awards are also on sale now at a cost of $200 each (includes HST). To order your tickets, contact Kathy Wade Vlaar at 905-858-3060.

This year’s awards gala will also feature a silent auction. Tickets to sporting events, weekend packages, jewellery and art are always popular items at silent auctions in the horse-racing industry. We would be very grateful and appreciate any one of these items, services or experiences as donations.

Auction donors will be recognized on signage in the reception area, in a story on Standardbred Canada’s website and in the official auction directory. This is a great way to promote your service or product.
