Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 6, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 6, 2018 Two prominent organizations within the steeplechase community, the National Steeplechase Foundation and the Temple Gwathmey Fund, are merging to form the Temple Gwathmey Steeplechase Foundation, it was announced Monday. The new Temple Gwathmey Steeplechase Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, will continue to pursue the threefold goals of the former entities: Promoting growth of the sport, investing in technology and medication testing to assure fairness, and minimizing risks for horses and jockeys. Under terms of the merger, Temple Gwathmey Fund trustees William L. Pape and John T. von Stade will become trustees of the Temple Gwathmey Steeplechase Foundation. The third trustee, Charles C. Fenwick Jr., serves as president of the National Steeplechase Foundation and will lead the new organization. “With the merger of these two strong, active organizations, we look forward to taking advantage of the greater opportunities that will be available to the Temple Gwathmey Steeplechase Fund,” Fenwick said. “With our shared goals, the merger made a lot of sense.” Among its charitable endeavors, the Temple Gwathmey Fund provided support to race meets in staging their programs, improving race courses to enhance safety for horses and jockeys, and generating funds for the race meets’ charitable beneficiaries while also promoting long-term growth of jump racing.
