The United Way of Kershaw County in South Carolina received a bonus for Boxing Day when the Wateree Hounds presented the organization with a check for $4,000. The money was raised for the United Way’s of Kershaw County’s Mobile Nutrition Center.

Boxing Day, which is celebrated on December 26, is thought to have grown out of the British tradition of charitable giving and good will. In the world of fox hunting, on Boxing Day hunt club members honor their Huntsman with tips.

Wateree’s Boxing Day meet drew more than 50 people whose monetary donations were then donated to the UWKC by Honorary Huntsman Vince Paschal.
