Another excellent opportunity to wear a pretty hat
and support a worthy charity!
annual fund-raising event,
the Fashionable Fillies Luncheon,
will be held Tuesday, July 31, 2012,
at the National Museum of Dance
in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
According to a release on The Jockey Club website,
the foundation has helped
well over 1,000 individuals and their families
with more than $13 million in assistance.
Recipients represent virtually every segment
of the Thoroughbred industry,
from jockeys, trainers, exercise riders and grooms
to office personnel and other employees of
racetracks, racing organizations and breeding farms.
Confidential assistance has been provided
in the form of financial aid, medication,
surgical and hospital costs, therapeutic equipment,
voice-recognition computers for quadriplegics
and wheelchair-accessible vans.
