Challenge of the Americas

Due to current health concerns associated with COVID-19, it is with great sadness that we have decided to cancel the 2021 Challenge of the Americas.

Research has never been more important. While eradicating COVID-19 is top of mind, Play for P.I.N.K. remains steadfast in its efforts to help end breast cancer through its sole beneficiary, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Even though we cannot be together this year, we hope you will join us and show your commitment to the cause at this challenging time. The only thing keeping us from a cancer-free tomorrow is funding and your support is needed now more than ever.

The Challenge of the Americas will be back next year, but we need the assistance of our loyal dressage fans today to sustain vital progress. The Challenge’s Committee members have pledged their support and we urge you to join them.

To send in a donation, please make your check payable to Play for P.I.N.K. and mail to:

Thanks to you, we are fueling groundbreaking science that will bring more precise diagnostic tools, personalized treatments, and targeted therapies to patients, faster. Despite undeniable progress, our work is not nearly done – we still lose more than 42,000 lives to metastatic disease each year.

You play a critical role in moving research forward. The end of breast cancer is on the horizon and it will be research, and research alone, that will get us there.

Sincerely,

Mary Ross

The Challenge of the Americas – Musical Dressage Team Quadrille Competition

The Challenge of the Americas, has evolved over the past 16 years from an afternoon dressage exhibition and luncheon in 2002, into an under-the-lights international equestrian musical dressage team quadrille extravaganza. Its success and continued growth is due to its partnership in the fight against breast cancer, as well as its unique and highly entertaining format that features the ever-popular musical Grand Prix Quadrille Dressage Team Challenge – forever to be recognized as “dancing for women and men around the world.”

There are few, if any, places throughout the world where an audience can delight in the performances of such a large and distinguished group of riders and their magnificent partners.

Be sure to mark your calendars for March 12, 2021 and once again plan to join the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Play for P.I.N.K. as international riders perform to world-class music and choreography in their efforts to find a cure in our lifetime.

Play for P.I.N.K. (Prevention, Immediate diagnosis, New technology, Knowledge), or PFP, is a 501(c)(3) grassroots organization dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research through sporting and lifestyle events. PFP’s commitment is to contribute 100% of all proceeds to its sole beneficiary, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), to fund the world’s top researchers. PFP donated $4.9 million to BCRF in 2019 and is currently supporting 19 research projects. Since 1996, PFP has raised over $62 million for breast cancer research.
