About this event

This is the primary annual fundraiser of the NY Race Track Chaplaincy, a non-profit which serves the backstretch and farmming communites of Saratoga as well as Belmont and Aqueduct.

This is a two hour casual event and we conclude in time for you to go to the races.

About Us: 

Over 3,500 people make up the community of workers who toil behind the scenes in support of the Thoroughbred racing industry at Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack, and Saratoga Springs Race Course.

The New York Race Track Chaplaincy ministers to the heart and soul of this entire community of stable workers and their families with children’s enrichment, teen mentoring, women’s programming, social service, recreational, and educational programs as well as non-denominational religious services.

The NY Chaplaincy provides these extensive services with the intent of satisfying spiritual needs and basic human necessities, as well as  providing the tools necessary for personal growth and independence.

Sponsorship and ticketing information is available on the NY Chaplaincy website rtcany.org or by contacting info@rtcany.org or 516-216-5196
