With the announcement that Lis Mara and his connections are once again assisting fundraising efforts in Haiti, Trot Radio talks to owner and co-ordinator Mike Gulotta for more discussion on this fantastic
initiative.
This program is being offered as a way for the standardbred industry to help in the massive relief effort and to help Lis Mara continue, now and in the future, to provide charitable contributions to people in dire need.
For mares booked to Lis Mara in 2010 and with a contribution in the amount of $500 to Food For The Poor, there will be a second $500 contribution made immediately from Deo Volente Farms on each the first 50 breedings.
The resulting contribution to Food for the Poor will be $1,000 for each booked breeding. Each $5,200 will build one duplex unit for two families. Food for the Poor has committed to building these houses within 30 days.
Both the breeder’s contribution and the matching contribution will be deducted from the $6,000 live foal stud fee when the mare delivers in 2011. The resulting stud fee will be $5,000, or a $1,000 reduction in the fee.
