The R.A.C.E. Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2004 and TAA accredited, launches its 2017 fund drive with an online auction on eBay starting May 26 at 8:00 p.m. (EST) and ending June 2 to help raise funds for racehorse retirement and rescue.
Featured auction items include halters from two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome and many other equine stars, first and second-edition Secretariat bobbleheads, and signed photos.
“We have some very exciting auction items again this year,” said Marlene Murray, president of the R.A.C.E. fund. “We would like to especially thank volunteer Roxanne Campbell for her tireless efforts as well as Calvin Borel, Airdrie Stud, Mrs. Pat Chapman and Calumet, Castleton Lyons, Claiborne, Darley, Denali Stud, Gainesway, Lane's End, Taylor Made, Timber Town Stables and WinStar for their generous support by donating such valuable items of racing champions to help us raise funds,”
All proceeds from the auction will be used to aid in Thoroughbred racehorses in need of retirement and rescue from slaughter.
