The GMC is the lifeblood of the USET Foundation, accounting for nearly 80 percent of individual contributions each year and is comprised of members who contribute a minimum of $1,000 or more annually. On Friday, Jan. 20, the USET Foundation hosted the Gold Medal Club Reception, where GMC members who have made the USET Foundation a priority in their charitable giving for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years were recognized.

GMC members have been a vital and essential source of support to U.S. equestrian teams. For the last 10 years, the following GMC members have continued to generously support the USET Foundation: Kathleen A. Connelly, Winifred P. Gray, Jean I. Jacobsen, Lara Gay Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. Jack R. Meyer, Thom R. and Adele B. Mitchell, Jeanne L. Morency, Robert, Nancy and Sarah Segal, Kimberly Van Kampen, Louise A. Wrinkle, Akiko Yamazaki and Jerry Yang and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Ziegler.

Lastly, the 35 Year Award, the most prestigious honor presented to a GMC member, was awarded to the United States Eventing Association.

The USET Foundation would not be able to achieve their mission to support the competition, training, coaching, travel and educational needs of America’s elite and developing international, high performance horses and athletes in partnership with US Equestrian without the generous support of each and every member of the Gold Medal Club.
