Help With Events

The DEC runs several events each year, large and small. We can always use help organizing, running, and promoting them. If you have a knack for organization or would just prefer to help clean up, we can always use your help. Below are lots of ideas. Let us know if there is anything that interests you.

• Contacting potential sponsors (writing or telephone)
• Planning and organizing
• Setup, cleanup, manning the registration table - the manual labor
• Designing and printing flyers
• Distributing flyers
• Cooking - manning the grill, etc.

Some of the bigger events we do: Member Appreciation Day, The DECF Scholarship Banquet, Autumn on the Brandywine Riding Event. These all take many people to help out. Smaller task, such as information tables at the state fair or partner organizations, require support too.

Check out our Calendar page to see what we have scheduled.

Redner's Save-A-Tape

What it is: This program gives back 1% of the total qualifying collected receipts to the DEC.

How YOU can help: Use your Redner’s Rewards Card when you purchase items at Redner’s Markets. Turn in your receipt to DEC via mail, give to a board member, or deliver in person at a monthly meeting.

Helpful tips:

• The whole receipt must be turned in. Partial receipts will not be considered.
• Do NOT use a highlighter on any part of the receipt. It can erase the totals.
• All receipts must be dated within three years prior to date of submission.
• Receipts from fuel purchases at Redner’s Quick Shoppes are NOT considered.

Southern States SHOW Program

What it is: SHOW is Special Horse Organization Winner. This program gives back $0.25 for each proof of purchase seal turned in from Southern States and Legends horse feed bags. Bulk feed purchases receive $10 per ton. Just turn in the original customer copy of the delivery ticket.

How YOU can help: Save the proof of purchase seal from the Southern States or Legends feed bag. Turn in your seals to DEC via mail, give to a board member, or deliver in person at a monthly meeting.

DEC License Plates

The Delaware Equine Council has worked with the DE DMV and created a license plate to promote the Delaware Equine Council. This program gives the DEC $35 of each plate sold.

How YOU can help: When renewing your vehicle registration, ask to have the Delaware Equine Council plate. This will cost a one-time fee of $50. The DMV will take your current plate number and place it on the DEC plate.

Helpful tip: You do not have to wait until your registration expires. Just request to have the new plate.
