Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) was recently named the charitable beneficiary of the Thoroughbred Club of America’s annual holiday giving campaign.

More than $5,000 was raised and will be used for grant making to qualified and approved organizations that work on behalf of Thoroughbreds or the people who care for them.

“We are grateful to the membership of the Thoroughbred Club of America for selecting Thoroughbred Charities of America as the beneficiary of their holiday giving campaign,” said Erin Crady, TCA executive director. “As an organization that operates exclusively on charitable contributions we greatly appreciate the generosity of the club’s membership and are honored to be the beneficiary.”

Thoroughbred Club of America’s General Manager Laura Gardner said the club’s members were “thrilled to support Thoroughbred Charities of America during the 2016 holiday season. The Thoroughbred Club’s participation in this campaign reinforced the club mission of promoting and encouraging closer cooperation, and better business relations within the Thoroughbred industry. It was an honor to assist a charity that is so devoted to the long-term health of Thoroughbred horses, and the individuals who care for them
