Mike Rogers Pledges One-Day Match Donation to TAA

As part of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA)’s month-long Holiday Giving Campaign, Mike Rogers has pledged to match all donations up to $500 made to the TAA on Dec. 10, 2022. Rogers, well known for his in-depth knowledge of Thoroughbred racing both on the front and behind the scenes, continues to dedicate his personal and professional time to aftercare.

“The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is doing great work and I’m happy to do my small part in helping their mission,” said 1/ST RACING Executive Vice President and Maryland Jockey Club Acting President and General Manager, Mike Rogers. “Our industry would be nothing without these horses, who all should have the opportunity to live long, happy lives after racing. Thank you, TAA, for providing an industry-united aftercare mechanism devoted to our retired equine athletes.”

“This holiday season, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is excited to shine a light for our 81 accredited groups,” said TAA President, Jeffrey Bloom. “Mike is always ready to lend a hand in support of the TAA and we are thrilled to have him as this Saturday’s match donor.”

TAA’s Holiday Giving Campaign commenced November 29th 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.

Throughout the end of the year, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will continue to host special one-day only donation matches with some of horse racing’s biggest names.
