Equine Guelph has announced that a March 30 fundraiser at the Can-Am Equine Emporium has given the horse owners' and caregivers' Centre at the University of Guelph quite a boost.

Thanks to generous contributions from loyal supporters of Equine Guelph, $2,500 was raised during a silent auction held on March 30 at the Can-Am show which was attended by over 7,500.

Can-Am President Ross Millar matched the monies raised at the silent auction bringing the total donation to $5,000.

Equine Guelph would like to extend its thanks to silent auction item donors and some very special coordinators, including Janice Blakeney, and Ross Millar.
