Woodbine Entertainment has relaunched the philanthropic initiative Woodbine Cares under a renewed banner: “For the Love of the Horse Racing Community,” according to a track release Wednesday.
“This refreshed focus on 'For the Love of the Horse Racing Community' reflects our organization's commitment to what matters most – the people, the horses, and the entire racing community,” said Michael Copeland, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. “By concentrating our efforts on horse welfare and on those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, Woodbine Cares is helping build a vibrant and sustainable future for Ontario horse racing. We're investing in the well-being of our equine athletes and the dedicated individuals who care for them, because their success and welfare are the foundation of our sport's success for generations to come.”
As part of the relaunch, Woodbine Cares is donating $250,000 annually towards three key focus areas and invest in major new initiatives across each: Equine Welfare & Aftercare, Food programs and Support for Backstretch Workers and Racing Workforce Development.
