With the GI Kentucky Derby, GI Preakness S. and GI Belmont S. on the horizon, a special “Three for Three” will be held by Equestricon to benefit the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), it was announced Monday. For every ticket purchased for Equestricon–the first international racing convention, fan festival and trade show–between the start of Kentucky Derby week (May 1) and the Belmont Stakes (June 10), organizers will donate $3 directly to the TAA, which is the “Official Charity Partner” of the historic convention.
The General Session for Equestricon 2017 will take place Monday, Aug. 14 through Tuesday, Aug. 15, at the Saratoga Springs City Center. Last month, Equestricon announced that as part of a program featuring nearly 50 panels, workshops, seminars and other events, a series of discussions presented by TAA would highlight the importance of aftercare at the convention.
“Equestricon is doing all it can to raise awareness about the work we do, along with all of our wonderful accredited organizations,” said TAA Operations Consultant, Stacie Clark Rogers. “The 'Three for Three' promotion is a chance for the public to really make an enormous difference, while punching their ticket to a can't-miss event, to begin with.”
Tickets for Equestricon 2017 start at just $25 and are available for purchase at Equestricon.com.
