Honoring Ron Schoenecker by Continuing His Legacy

Ron Schoenecker believed in creating opportunities. As a loving father and grandpa, he saw the dedication of his own children and grandchildren firsthand. And when he knew his financial support could help unlock their full potential, he stepped up without a second thought.

This was the inspiration behind his support for his granddaughter Lexi's equestrian pursuits—he provided the sponsorship that unlocked the door not just to competition, but to the growth and development that can only be gained through experience. To honor Ron's memory, we are creating a foundation to be that key for other young riders in East Tennessee.

Our Mission & Your Impact

The Ron Schoenecker Memorial Fund will provide scholarships to dedicated young equestrians in East Tennessee, covering the costs of competition show fees that often stand in the way of young riders living their dreams.

In a sport that is increasingly cost-prohibitive, even for those with the means to own or lease a horse, there are very few such scholarship opportunities within the local equestrian community. Your donation, in lieu of flowers, will provide the crucial seed money to establish this much-needed non-profit and fund its very first scholarships.

Your gift will help a talented young rider get to the show and experience the joy of competition that Ron cherished so much. Thank you for being a part of building his legacy.
