For the first time in 24 years, the Standardbred Retirement Foundation's annual charity golf outing found a day for its event when racing in the tri-state area is dark, so organizers are asking all to join them on Wednesday, May 18 for what should be a fabulous event.

Hosted by Knob Hill Country Club in Manalapan, NJ, lunch will start at 11:30 a.m. and tee time will be at 1:30 p.m. sharp (the hole-in-one shot to win a million dollars will kick off the golfing). The very popular event sells out every year and is an integral fundraiser for SRF to help care for 208 trotters and pacers that are all hoping for homes. Unlike any other charity, SRF has retirees pensioned who have served owners, trainers, drivers and racing very well and need help.

The total cost for the fun-filled event – which includes lunch, greens fees, cocktails, a full buffet dinner and dessert, prizes such as an iPad Air, live and sealed bid auctions that will be online and at the event, trivia fun, a raffle and more – is only $195 when paid by May 4. Sponsorships offer full signage on the greens and continued signage throughout cocktails and dinner, coverage on the media screen, in the program and newsletter, and some include a personalized sponsorship logo item for all guests. If you do not golf then join for the lively conversation, cocktails and dinner for $59.

The SRF appreciates sponsors for the event, and gifts for the auctions or raffles such as tickets to sporting events, services, vacations, gift cards and any other similar items. In past years items included a Pennsbury Track Trainer, a harness from Finn Tack, Disney tickets, starting gate rides, stake services, veterinary services, a full body scan from Mid-Atlantic Equine, Hogan Equine Clinic services, Yankee tickets, a tour of NBC Studios, fine wine and much more. If you cannot physically be present and wish to bid, items will be available for bidding on SRF's website (adoptahorse.org) starting in early May. Phone bids will be welcomed for some items.
