Rochelle Center, founded in 1972, is a non-profit agency offering outcome-based day supports for adults with developmental disabilities as they strive to be self-reliant in our community. Meaningful day supports provide continuing personal individualized training in the areas of self-determination, communication, recreation and sensory stimulation in The Developmental Supports Program. The Production Center offers employment opportunities both on and off campus with individual job training and skills as they progress along the continuum to Supported Community Employment and eventual independence.
Saddle Up! is middle Tennessee's oldest and largest recreational therapeutic horseback riding program and the only one exclusively serving children and youth with documented disabilities. Founded in the summer of 1990 with lessons one night a week for 10 students, Saddle Up! today operates year-round and serves nearly 190 students annually with more than 4,500 lessons. This is achieved with a dedicated volunteer corps of nearly 300, 7 full-time and 23 part-time staff members, and the "horse staff" of 18 whose power makes the program work. Our special thanks to the donors whose support helps keep Saddle Up! the place "Where all children are equal in the saddle."
Letter from the Committee
On behalf of the title sponsor Infiniti, the Event Hosts, Lee Ann and Orrin Ingram, the 2011 Committee, and many generous and loyal Sponsors we wish to welcome each of you to the 15th Annual Infiniti Chukkers for Charity! Thank you for choosing to spend your Saturday afternoon here at Riverview Farm to benefit two community agencies that work hard to make a difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities. Rochelle Center and Saddle Up! could not continue the programs and services that are so very important to each participant without your support of this event!
A beautiful array of vintage and classic cars awaits your review in the AutoWeek Classic Car Show prior to today’s Polo Benefit Match. Step onto the field and visit with owners to discuss the restoration and operation of these unique displays of horsepower. An event of this magnitude takes dozens of caring and creative hands. We wish to thank each and every one of the many volunteers who make this event successful. To the professional and amateur polo players, thank you for sharing the beauty of the game and donating your time and talents. This continues to be the highest rated Polo Match played in the state of Tennessee because of your support. To everyone at Riverview Farm, thank you for your time, talents, and support year after year to make this event a huge success. Now sit back and enjoy the beauty of the rolling hills of Tennessee as we await the thunderous roar of horse power fueled by the incredible skills and agility of both horse and rider.
Sincerely,
Theresa Menefee, Valerie Levay, Cathy Brown and Lexie Armstrong
