The Race to Give was created by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in 2021 and is an online giving and awareness campaign designed to raise money for Thoroughbred aftercare programs and initiatives. The 2022 campaign runs from October 7 through November 12.

Like many in the Thoroughbred industry, Hagyard believes that it is our collective responsibility to protect the wellbeing of Thoroughbreds as they retire from their racing and breeding careers. What comes after can be just as exciting as their time on the track. We aim to support these initiatives so Thoroughbreds can go on to successful futures as performance horses, the next beloved family addition, or onto their next recreational adventure. The Race to Give also spotlights the people in our industry that support and work passionately in aftercare.

Join us in our goal of raising awareness and funds for Thoroughbred aftercare programs!

You will be asked to self-identify with a group when registering. Learn about Groups.
