The New York Race Track Chaplaincy is seeking donations for their Summer Enrichment Program in Saratoga, which keeps families together when workers have to travel from Belmont Park to Saratoga for the summer, and provides children with a summer experience they may have never had before, away from the city and the track.
The Chaplaincy has been providing the program for over a decade.
“Of all the services offered by the New York Race Track Chaplaincy, the summer enrichment program may be the most important one,” said Chaplain Humerto Chavez, “because it keeps the families together in Saratoga and it provides a safe, educational and fun experience for the children while their parents are working.”
Donors may choose to sponsor a child for one day for $45, one week for $300, one month for $1,250 and the entire summer for $2,500.
The New York Race Track Chaplaincy ministers to the over 3,500 people who make up the community of workers behind the scenes in support of the Thoroughbred racing industry at Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack, and Saratoga Race Course, providing children's enrichment, teen mentoring, women's programming, social service, recreational, and educational programs as well as non-denominational religious services.
