NYRA Announces Donation to the American Red Cross

NYRA President and COO, Ellen McClain, was proud to announce that NYRA will donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross to be designated to Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief in New York. Our neighbors near Aqueduct Race Track and Belmont Park were devastated by the storm and NYRA wants to provide much needed support.
NYRA reached out to the backstretch organizations to compile information which we have provided to the American Red Cross for the needs of the backstretch community.
NYRA embraces its responsibility as good corporate citizen and community leader during this difficult time for our neighbors, employees, and horsemen.
