Steeplechase at Callaway Gardens

08/26/2026

We heard it’s National Dog Day… 🐾

What better way to celebrate than by showing our appreciation for the Midland Fox Hounds, who have kicked off Race Day with their beloved parade for so many years? It’s a fun and cherished Steeplechase tradition we look forward to every year!

What a night at the Steeplechase Shuffle!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of mahjong, great food, and even better company, all in support of Steeplechase and the arts organizations we’re proud to benefit.

We loved seeing the tables full, the tiles shuffling, and so many friends coming together to support this tradition. A huge thank you to everyone who played, helped, donated, and made the evening such a success. And a huge shout-out to Lou Lou’s Bistro + Foster’s Bar for hosting these 70 lovely guests!

Now, on to November 7th!

It takes an incredible team to bring the Steeplechase to life! We are so thankful for the dedicated volunteers who work so hard to make Race Day special.

“I can’t thank each of these ladies enough for the time, energy, and heart they pour into the Steeplechase. So much happens behind the scenes to make this event what it is, and I’m incredibly grateful for this dedicated group of women. I truly couldn’t ask for a better committee!” - Leigh Anne Smith, 2026 Race Director

Join us in thanking our amazing 2026 Steeplechase Committee! See you 11.7.2026!
