Individual Hound Sponsorships

​

We recently mailed sponsorship letters. If you have not yet responded, at the dinner you can choose a hound and choose a level of support for a chance to win a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates if your hound wins a ribbon in a 2024 event, such as the Spring or Fall Pack Field Trials in Aldie Virginia, the Maryland Puppy Show or the Bryn Mawr Hound Show, or the National Beagle Club AKC Challenge. Levels of hound sponsorship are Bronze - $50; Silver - $100; Gold  - $250; Platinum - $500. 

​

Sponsoring a hound is a great way to learn the individual hounds. You will find yourself watching for your hound(s) during a hunt day and before you know it, you will be able to recognize several of them and find yourself engaged in the sport. Hounds won a lot in 2023, and many sponsors received a nice bottle of wine. 

​

Get a few friends together and join us for a great dinner, fine wine, and good company to support the NT Beagles!
