Fourth Annual Holiday Campaign for the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Runs All December

[Wandering Eyes]

The fourth annual Holiday Giving Campaign, run for the benefit of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), is set to run the month of December to raise funds, the group announced Friday morning.

Designed to raise awareness for accredited Thoroughbred aftercare and to support those organizations that ensure retired runners enjoy a good quality of life after their first career, the initiative raised $240,000 last year. This year the goal is to continue making a meaningful impact for Thoroughbreds in need and build on prior success.

“We are thrilled to kick off our Holiday Giving Campaign and support the amazing work our 86 accredited organizations do every day,” said Emily Dresen, director of funding and events at the TAA.

“Every gift made during our campaign makes a difference and contributes to our ability to provide safe and dignified transitions for Thoroughbreds when they retire from the track. We are encouraged by the excitement and generosity of our match sponsors and the industry's unified response to taking care of our equine athletes!”

During the campaign, the TAA will unveil new daily match sponsors, including prominent leaders in the horseracing industry. Each sponsor will match all donations up to a set amount for their designated day. Announcements of match sponsors will be shared daily through industry publications as well as Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance's website, social media channels, and email list. Campaign updates will be sent to this mailing list along with additional information.

Starting December 1, individuals interested in supporting accredited aftercare through the Holiday Giving Campaign can visit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance website to make a donation, which will be matched by the daily sponsor. Donations of $50 or more will also receive a free 2026 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance calendar, while supplies last.

“Every Thoroughbred deserves a safe and meaningful life beyond the finish line, and Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance makes that possible through its incredible network of accredited organizations. Their work reflects the deep respect we all share for these athletes who give us so much,” said Terry Finley,

president and founder of West Point Thoroughbreds. “Join us in supporting Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance's Holiday Giving Campaign–helping every horse transition into a rewarding new chapter is a mission we can all stand behind.”
