Horseshoe Indianapolis Donates $10,000 to Echo Effect Arts Campus

Horseshoe Indianapolis has partnered with Echo Effect Arts Campus on a few projects in 2023. The casino and racetrack, in a joint effort, took another step this week to elevate their support for the organization with a $10,000 donation to the overall operations of the multi-faceted property.

“We strive to link our donations with organizations that do so much for the local community and Echo Effect fits that mold perfectly,” said Trent McIntosh, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Horseshoe Indianapolis. “Not only does Thurman (Adams) and his team provide valuable workspace, they bring a unique business to Shelby County with state-of-the-art recording equipment. Plus, their investment in a well-traveled corner of Shelbyville shows their commitment to the community. They have become part of the vast expansion movement going on in downtown Shelbyville.”

Veterinarian Raising Funds for Local Horse Rescue

A veterinarian is raising money for a local horse rescue by living in one of the barns stalls for three days this week in hopes of raising $20,000.

Dr. Bryan Langlois has been taking part in his “Stall Rest Fundraiser for PARR” since noon on Monday. He will be living in a stall till noon on Thursday or sooner if the $20,000 goal is met. All the proceeds from the fundraiser go to PA Racehorse Rehoming, Rehabilitation, and Rescue (PARR), an Off the Track Thoroughbred (OTTB) rescue that recently relocated its operations from Pennsylvania to Ocala.

All the care for the horses is done strictly by volunteers led by the rescue's founder Dr. Kate Papp, who has dedicated her life and career to the care of these horses in need.

“I was coming down here for a vet conference this coming weekend, so it kind of seemed natural to me to see if I could help raise funds in some way while getting here a little early,” Dr. Langlois said.

“I had done a similar fundraiser for the rescue when they were in Pennsylvania a few years back that raised close to $10,000. I have seen firsthand how the folks here have taken horses that would have been written off as never being able to be saved and worked miracles with them. Being a veterinarian who also works solely in the rescue and non-profit realm I know all to well the costs involved with caring for these creatures and that it is only the generosity of the generous donors that allows rescues like PARR to operate and save these lives. The small amount of discomfort I may have to go through for a few days living in a stall pale greatly in comparison to what some of the horses PARR has taken in over the years have gone through.”

Donations can be made via GoFundMe.
