IRVINE, Calif. -- Dana Capital Group is pleased to announce today that it has become a Platinum Sponsor for the 2006 Gala benefiting the J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center in San Juan Capistrano. The event took place on June 17 at the Mission San Juan Capistrano with a nostalgic Vegas twist.

"We are very honored that our organization has been recognized by Dana Capital Group with such a generous donation for their second year in a row. Their contribution will greatly assist the J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center in its dedication to improving the lives of people with disabilities through the highest-quality therapeutic riding programs available," said Dana Butler-Moburg, the executive director of the Shea Center.

"We wanted to share our sales success with an organization that does so much for so many. Their work is truly impressive," said Dana Smith, the founder and chairman of Dana Capital Group Inc.

"We admire their ongoing contributions to the field of therapeutic riding which serves such a variety of people in need. Also, as a resident of San Juan Capistrano, I wanted to be associated with a strong local organization. We are pleased to be associated with such a distinguished organization right here in our community," said Smith.

"Dana Capital is well recognized as a prominent member of Orange County's business community and we greatly welcome their donation and involvement with the Shea Center. We are very pleased to be associated with a company of such stature in our community," said Nora Caldwell, senior development manager for the Shea Center.

"We felt that this year's event was an even more important event as its success helps create even more awareness of the Center as we continue to build and raise funds for a new and much larger riding facility that greatly expands the center and the number of people that will benefit from their therapeutic riding programs. It is all very impressive," said Lauren Smith, vice president of special events for Dana Capital.
