3. The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair unveiled a six-year, $2 million pledge to Bryn Mawr Hospital.

The cash from the nation’s oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed horse competition will enhance the hospital’s inpatient Behavioral Health Unit. This is the latest act of giving from the volunteer-run fair that gives a portion of proceeds to Bryn Mawr Hospital and has donated more than $18 million to the facility in the last century.

“Bryn Mawr Hospital and the thousands of volunteers who make the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair a reality are mainstays of our annual event,” said Wayne W. Grafton, the chairman of Devon Horse Show and Country Fair. “Every year, 125,000 spectators come to Devon for two reasons — one of the world’s top horse shows and competitions, and to support Main Line’s premiere hospital.”
