TAA Holiday Giving Campaign Begins Dec. 1

[Wandering Eyes]

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance's third annual Holiday Giving Campaign will begin Dec. 1 and continue through the month of December. The campaign is designed to increase awareness for accredited organizations engaged in ensuring a quality life for equine athletes once their racing days are through. Last year's campaigned raised better than $200,000 for accredited aftercare.

“Our accredited aftercare organizations continue to make a profound difference in the lives of retired racehorses, providing them with the care and futures they deserve,” said Jeffrey Bloom, President, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “Each donation to the holiday campaign supports the necessary work of 83 accredited organizations across the nation. During the season of giving, we deeply appreciate your support, which helps ensure the welfare of these wonderful Thoroughbreds.”

Throughout the campaign, the TAA will announce daily match sponsors who will match all donations up to a specified amount for the given day.

“We choose to support Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance this holiday season and in the future because of the necessary work they do in providing grants for their accredited aftercare organizations,” said Dan Piazza. “Our Thoroughbreds deserve and require our support beyond the racetrack and into their second careers.”

Beginning Dec. 1, individuals wishing to participate in the campaign can go to the TAA website to make their donation. Through Dec. 31, donations of $50 or more will receive a free calendar while supplies last.

“We are so grateful for the support we've received during our Holiday Giving Campaigns and are excited to build on the growth we see each year to raise even more funds for our accredited organizations and the Thoroughbreds they care for,” said Emily Dresen, Director of Fundraising & Events, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “It's inspiring to witness the collective effort from our industry to support our equine athletes during this season of giving.”
