Saratoga WarHorse raised over $250,000 at its seventh annual Blue Spangled Gala Aug. 12 to help veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress. Attendees participated in a “living museum” exhibit displaying the realities of military life and the organizing honored racing legend and WWII vet Cot Campbell.

“Our highly-attended annual gala is a great opportunity to help attendees better understand what it means to serve in the military–the good and the bad,” said Allison Cherkosly, Ph.D, veteran, and Executive Director of Saratoga WarHorse. “Our immersive, 3-D 'Living Museum' experience showed attendees a glimpse into the lives of veterans. They also heard from three incredible female veterans who spoke about how Saratoga WarHorse helped them overcome the trauma of both combat and sexual assault, and how the program changed the trajectory of their lives.”
