"The funds raised at this event represent not only our contribution, but that of every Braman customer. There is a percentage of every car purchased that goes to a good cause to help others and we could not do so without a healthy business and loyal customer base" Cerone continued.

Funds raised from the event will help supply hot meals to homeless men, women, and children while they connect with community resources at our Engagement Center.

Job Training and Placement program participants will not have to walk in the heat of summer to find work but will be able to receive a bus pass from Cafe Joshua. Individuals and families at our residential campuses will receive the personalized support services they need to be able to stabilize their lives and work toward their goals of exiting homelessness.

The Lord's Place is dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness by providing innovative, compassionate, and effective services to men, women, and children in our community.

Jan Phillips, director of administration, human resources, and volunteers stated that "all of the clients who volunteered for the event had such a great time and now want to know when they can do it again!"

"Kudos to the Braman family for a fun-filled day. You guys worked very hard to put on a great event. We are pleased to have Braman Motorcars as one of our community partners. Together as a community we can end homelessness one person, one life at a time. " Phillips concluded.

Lauren Hough & Naomi 152 Win Braman Motorcars Grand Prix
Tickets available for this Weeks Events

By ROXANE THEIDEL

WELLINGTON, Fla., Jan. 25--Sydney 2000 Olympian Lauren Hough on her new mount, Naomi 152, Sunday posted her first grand prix win of the 2009 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival in the $50,000 Braman Motorcars CSI-2 at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.


Of the 55 starting riders, 13 combinations  moved on to the jump off where only four combinations went clear.

Hough, of Wellington, and Naomi 152, owned by Quail Run Partners, completed the short course in 39 secs. flat, only 0.39 secs. faster than 2004 and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Beezie Madden of Cazenovia, N.Y. aboard Danny Boy, owned by Abigail Wexner. Rounding out the top three was Charlie Jayne of Elgin, Ill. and Urbanus.

"The first course didn't suit a big horse, but in the jump off I did five strides instead of six down the last line and I think that was the difference," Hough said of her winning ride.

This is only the third time Hough has competed the mare and said she believes she "is a really special horse."

"But learning a big horse like her has been the biggest challenge so far."

Madden chose to do six strides down the last line because "it was only his first Sunday Grand Prix and he is nine years old," she said of Danny Boy, whom she has brought up the ranks since acquiring him as a five-year-old.

Danny Boy was the best young horse at Aachen, Germany last year and "may have to end up stepping into the number one spot," because her 2004 and 2008 Olympic mount, Authentic, also owned by Abigail Wexner, and the Iron Spring Farm's stallion, Judgment, have been left home to rest for the winter.
