Prominent owner Michael Dubb, founder and chairman of the Belmont Child Care Association (BCCA) and member of the Board of Directors of the New York Racing Association (NYRA), has been recognized by the New York Islanders with the 2025 Charles B. Wang Community Service Award. The New York Islanders, a professional ice hockey team, honored Dubb at the UBS Arena at Belmont Park Thursday evening.
In addition to the award, which recognizes leaders within the Metro New York community who have made a profound impact on the lives of individuals, families, or the community at large, the Islanders will make a $25,000 donation to the BCCA.
Among the many ways Dubb has advocated for the backside community over the years, including repeatedly offering his building expertise to improve the living conditions on the backstretch, he built Anna House, the child care center open year-round at Belmont Park, and also opened Faith's House, the child care center open during the summer meet at Saratoga Race Course.
