About This Event
Join us on February 20, 2026, at HITS Post Time Farm for the second annual Children’s Charity Classic—a one-day, family-friendly event where world-class equestrian sport meets a powerful mission to support Marion County’s children. Gates open at 4:30 PM, Show starts at 6:00 PM
Proudly presented with the support of Grand Prix Sponsors HCA Florida Healthcare and the Alletto Family, the Children’s Charity Classic blends the excitement of professional and amateur hunter-jumper competition with a powerful charitable mission: improving the lives of local children.
Following a highly successful inaugural year, the event continues its momentum. In 2025, the Children’s Charity Classic invested $100,000 directly into 10 local children’s charities, helping advance critical programs and services for Marion County families. This year’s Children’s Charity Classic will feature each charity paired with a professional or amateur hunter-jumper rider that will represent a classic board game theme, with riders competing in costume as part of an entertaining and spirited show. Charities will receive funding based on their riders’ placement in the competition.
General Admission is $10. Free admission for children under 12.
