THE NYRA FOUNDATION

The NYRA Foundation is a philanthropic effort launched by the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) to raise funding and awareness for the work of non-profits, service providers, thoroughbred aftercare groups and charitable organizations connected to horse racing in New York State and beyond.

THE NYRA FOUNDATION

The NYRA Foundation establishes a pathway for businesses, individuals and organizations to contribute to a variety of worthy endeavors connected to thoroughbred racing in New York State and across the country. The 501(c)(3) organization will identify beneficiaries through a review of prior work and future plans.

"The NYRA Foundation reflects our belief in the importance of service to others.

Thanks to Chairman Marc Holliday, and the generosity of our event sponsors, the Belmont Ball will shine a light on the essential and underappreciated work done to support the broader horse racing community"
