Pal-O-Mine Equestrian, Inc. (www.pal-o-mine.org, Islandia, NY), a private, not for profit organization providing a comprehensive therapeutic equine program using horses to facilitate growth, learning and healing for children and adults with disabilities, held its First Annual Stakes on Friday, June 5th, 2020. The event proved to be a great success while having its attendees cheering on the jockeys and their horses remotely. Just over $25,000 was raised through this unique virtual event.
Pal-O-Mine CEO and founder Lisa Gatti stated, “A special thank you to all who sponsored, watched, rode and cheered on the jockeys and outriders at our first Pal-O-Mine Stakes. This was an essential fundraiser for us and all the money raised went directly to our horses’ care.”
The jockeys and outriders riding the Pal-O-Mine horses included members of Pal-O-Mine’s professional staff. To gain a firsthand view of the event on video, visit the Pal-O-Mine facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/115338415167771/videos/542151476466520/
