The Price family would like to thank you for joining us as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Queen’s Cup Steeplechase. We started the Queen’s Cup out of a love for the sport and a desire to give back to the community. From the beginning it has been a family endeavor involving our parents and our children, Brent and Jamey, who now have professional talents to contribute. Today is a milestone not only in years but also in passing the $1 million threshold of money raised for local charities! We would not be here today if it weren’t for our loyal PSL holders and volunteers, our sponsors, the board, our staff and you, our patrons. We are so very grateful for your support! With gratitude,
