The Jockey Club Foundation is a charitable trust which
provides, on a confidential basis, financial relief and assistance to
needy members of the Thoroughbred industry and their families. |

Adversity or hardship presents itself in a variety of ways, so The Jockey
Club Foundation remains flexible when it comes to the support it provides.
Assistance can come in any number of forms, including financial aid, medication,
surgical and hospital costs, therapeutic equipment, voice-recognition computers
for quadriplegics and wheelchair-accessible vans, among other needs. To
increase its ability to help in as many instances as possible, the Foundation
maintains communications with chaplains based at racetracks throughout
the country.
Chaplains often are the first to hear about and assist those
in need and the ongoing dialogue has enabled the Foundation to be apprised
of and respond to
unfortunate circumstances in a more efficient manner. |
