RRP Year-End Campaign at the Top of the Stretch
We’re over halfway to our goal of $80,000 for our year-end campaign, but we can’t get to the finish line without you: if every person reading this email gave us just $5, we’d surpass that goal!
Your contribution to our year-end campaign supports our mission and our work in Thoroughbred aftercare: we have goals in 2023 that not only include expanding the Thoroughbred Makeover but increasing traceability for Thoroughbreds beyond racing. Can you help us?
