At Youth Barrel Battle, we've always believed our sport is about more than competition. It's about family, community, and lifting one another up.
This year, we are honored to host a 50/50 raffle benefiting Smile Like Hadleigh.
Hadleigh Claire Lee was a gymnast, an equestrian, a daughter, a friend, and a bright light to everyone who knew her. She loved horses, chased her dreams with determination, and was the center of her parents' world. Two years go, tragically, on her birthday, Hadleigh's life was taken by an impaired driver, leaving behind a family and community forever changed.
As horse people, we understand how much passion, dedication, and love young people pour into the things they cherish. We know the early mornings, the long drives, the arena dirt, the hopes and dreams carried by every child who swings a leg over a horse. Hadleigh embodied so much of that spirit.
While no fundraiser can erase such a tremendous loss, we hope to honor Hadleigh's memory by supporting the incredible work of Smile Like Hadleigh. Through education, advocacy, and awareness, the organization works to highlight the devastating consequences of impaired driving and help prevent other families from experiencing the same heartbreak.
When you purchase a raffle ticket during Youth Barrel Battle, you're doing more than entering for a chance to win. You're helping keep Hadleigh's story alive. You're supporting a cause born from love. You're standing alongside a family that has chosen to turn unimaginable tragedy into a mission that can save lives.
We invite you to join us in celebrating Hadleigh's life, her beautiful smile, and the legacy she continues to leave behind.
Because one choice can change everything.
