Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 11, 2018 Journalists Share Posted December 11, 2018 The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) has secured a $50,000 matching gift from the Geoffrey C. Hughes Foundation (GHF) for its 2018 Hay Drive. The GHF will match every gift received by the TRF up to $50,000 for its Hay Drive campaign through the end of 2018. The TRF’s goal for the 2018 Hay Drive is $250,000 to cover the cost of hay for the 700 horses in their care throughout the winter of 2018-2019. “We are grateful to the Geoffrey C. Hughes Foundation for this generous gift and the leadership it represents,” said Kim Weir, Director of Major Gifts and Planned Giving for the TRF. “By doubling the impact each dollar given up to $50,000, we are hopeful that many new donors will be inspired to contribute to this critically important element of the TRF annual operations. The TRF Hay Drive is one of the most important campaigns for the organization providing rescue, sanctuary retraining and retirement for Thoroughbreds no longer able to compete at the racetrack.” The campaign will be conducted by direct mail, email and social media as well as one-on-one donation requests.
