New Vocations Press Release
LEXINGTON, Ky.— New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program has announced that in celebration of its 30th anniversary, D.J. Stable, LLC will match all Giving Tuesday donations to the program, up to a record-breaking $30,000, in support of racehorse aftercare.
Giving Tuesday—a global movement that encourages people around the world to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity—takes place Nov. 29 this year.
“We are so pleased to have the opportunity to partner with this wonderful organization,” said D. J. Stable, LLC General Manager Jonathan Green. “Our horses have benefited from being placed in New Vocations’ aftercare programs, which prompted us to offer a matching fund for the first $30,000 contributed during the Giving Tuesday drive. We hope others follow our lead and donate to New Vocations.”
Aftercare awareness has grown significantly since New Vocations’ inception in 1992, which means the need for its program continues to expand and grow. As a nonprofit organization, New Vocations relies almost entirely on donations to carry out its mission to rehab, retrain and rehome retired racehorses. Over the last 30 years the program has served more than 8,000 horses, finding them experienced, loving homes for their years off the track.
“We are so thankful for the generous support from DJ Stable and the Green family,” said Anna Ford, New Vocations Thoroughbred Program Director. “Their match last year helped us raise over $50,000 on Giving Tuesday and this year’s match has the potential to raise more than $60,000. We have seen an increase in costs to all our program expenses, so the funding from Giving Tuesday is greatly needed to help us continue to carry out our aftercare efforts.”
To ensure Giving Tuesday gifts are matched and have double the impact, interested individuals are asked to donate by Nov. 29 at https://22-giving-tuesday-new-vocations.causevox.com/. For more information, contact Carey Cairo at carey@horseadoption.com.
