Siena Farm Pledges $5,000 One-Day Match December 17
As part of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA)'s month-long Holiday Giving Campaign, Siena Farm has pledged to match all donations up to $5,000 made to the TAA Dec. 17. Siena Farm not only breeds and races Thoroughbreds–such as their syndicate ownership in undefeated 2022 GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner, Flightline–but excels within their endeavors to support the industry from all angles, including Thoroughbred aftercare. Now, the boutique breeding and racing farm seeks to invite fellow industry participants to match their donation to the TAA Holiday Giving Campaign.
“The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance plays a vital role through its accreditation of aftercare organizations and grants to safeguard the most vulnerable of our retired Thoroughbred racehorses and Siena Farm is very proud to participate in the TAA Holiday Giving Campaign,” said Siena Farm President, David Pope. “We invite all industry participants to join us this holiday season and show your support to a great organization.”
TAA's Holiday Giving Campaign commenced Nov. 29 and is scheduled to conclude New Year's Eve. 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.
