The Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF)'s second annual Soiree For Safety will take place Friday, May 23 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Fair Hill DNR Tea Barn. All proceeds from the event support TERF's mission of promoting Thoroughbred health, welfare and racing safety. Since its founding in 2010, TERF's endowment has grown to over $2.5M and has awarded over 100 grants totaling more than $1M to support educational programs, student scholarships, and equine research projects consistent with TERF's mission.
The event will include a Q & A session with Dr. Scott Palmer, DVM, the Medical Director for the New York State Gaming Commission, who will discuss a data-based program at the tracks of the New York Racing Association that has improved safety for equine athletes and riders alike. There will also be a live auction of fine art and adventure experiences, including seats for this year's Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, donated by NYRA.
Tickets for the Soiree For Safety are $75 and include an open bar and hors d'oeuvres. For more information, visit terfusa.org.
