Chief Stipe Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Horseplayers cashing winning tickets at New York Racing Association tracks can now share their good fortune with retired Thoroughbreds by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance at self-service AmTote betting terminals. Beginning Saturday, Apr. 7 at Aqueduct, horseplayers cashing a winning ticket through a self-service terminal will be prompted with a pop-up interface allowing them to make a donation to the TAA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. If the bettor chooses to donate, the terminal will issue a receipt indicating both the donation amount as well as the TAA’s 501(c)(3) identification number. The remaining balance will then be issued in the form of a voucher. “NYRA is committed to supporting Thoroughbred aftercare, and we’re pleased to provide horseplayers with a way to quickly and easily donate to the TAA,” said NYRA Chief Revenue Officer David O’Rourke. “The work done by the TAA, and all accredited aftercare organizations, is critical to the health and well-being of our great sport. That’s why we are so pleased to launch an initiative to raise funds for responsible aftercare.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
