The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA)'s month-long Holiday Giving Campaign comes to an end with Bob and Jill Baffert pledging to match all donations up to $10,000 made to the TAA on Dec. 31, 2022–the largest of the campaign.

“Every racing season, these horses give us the thrill of a lifetime, bringing immeasurable joy. We all should remember that this holiday season when we stop to count our blessings and express gratitude,” said Jill Baffert, who is also a member of TAA's advisory board. “There is no better way to do that than by contributing to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, which assures that all horses are treated with respect and care and afforded a full life of dignity after leaving the racetrack. Please join Bob and me in giving whatever you can to TAA this season.”

“Thanks to the Baffert's, the TAA Holiday Giving Campaign will end with a bang,” said TAA Funding and Events Manager, Emily Dresen. “We are so excited with the incredible level of participation within the horseracing community and with the Baffert's generous pledge we can have our biggest day of fundraising yet.”

Those wishing to support the TAA, its 81 accredited organizations, and thousands of retired Thoroughbreds can donate through the TAA's website or text DONATE to 56651. During the Holiday Giving Campaign, TAA is also offering donors the benefit of sending digital holiday cards to colleagues, friends and loved ones.
