Apart from the many sponsors, the company has raised funds by joining hands with a charity fund raising team. That team organized an event in the year 2004 for the Kentucky Equine Education Project. They managed to raise $2.2 million which is now supporting this festival to become a successful event. With these great sponsors, the festival is expecting more visitors than they have ever had before.
