“IHSA Has Shaped Who I Am” – Join Us in Supporting the Next Generation
Two days into our first-ever year-end giving campaign, we’re thrilled by the excitement and support from the IHSA community. As alumni, supporters, and riders like Camryn Lubner come together to celebrate IHSA’s impact, we’re reminded of the unique legacy we’re building – one that spans generations.
Camryn, a 2024 graduate of the University of South Carolina, joined IHSA during her freshman year amidst the challenges of 2020. Looking back, she reflects on how her teammates, coaches, and horses have become her family. “The barn provided the only sense of normalcy in freshman year,” Camryn shares. “I am forever grateful for the person and equestrian that IHSA has molded me into.”
This is what makes IHSA so special. For over 57 years, riders of all levels and backgrounds have found a place here, a team that teaches not only riding skills but life skills – from resilience and empathy to teamwork and selflessness. For riders like Camryn, who practiced with her team at 7 a.m. sessions and cheered with pride at Nationals, IHSA has been a formative experience that they will carry with them always.
Will you help ensure that IHSA continues to shape the lives of students today and for decades to come? Every gift helps make IHSA accessible to riders everywhere, supporting programs, team travel, and even the care of cherished team horses like Peanut, who almost lost an eye to infection but with the support of the IHSA community, it was saved and his exorbitant vet bills were paid.
A gift today of $25, $50, or whatever you can give allows us to continue building these lasting connections, providing the experiences that shape riders as both equestrians and individuals.
Can we count on you to be a part of this journey? Your gift not only supports IHSA now – it keeps alive a tradition of excellence and camaraderie that alumni and supporters like you helped create.
Thank you for being a part of our IHSA family, and for helping today’s riders find their own place in this legacy.
P.S. Let’s keep this momentum going! Your gift today supports IHSA programs that allow current and future riders to experience the best of IHSA.
