He also sits on the boards of the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association and the Thoroughbred Charities of America. Polisseni was the largest contributor to the construction of Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program’s Purple Haze Center, the first and only adoption center built on the grounds of a racetrack. Tickets for the event are $250 per person and include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, live and silent auctions and dancing. All proceeds will benefit Equine Advocates Horse Rescue, Sanctuary and Human Education programs.
