This summer, OHJA awarded a total of $2,000 in grant money to help four Local System riders attend Medal Finals.

The Local System Medal Finals Grant provides junior and amateur members in the Local System with financial assistance to attend the show hosting the finals.

Thanks to the Open System riders who donated the value of their year-end prizes back to OHJA and additional gifts from Swan Training and Kathryn A Hall PC, we were able to support every rider who applied for the grant this year! We are so appreciative of everyone who supported this program in 2026, and we hope that it can continue to grow in 2027 and beyond.
