VIP Internet Stable’s auction of several partnership shares to benefit the Lebanon Horsemen’s Disaster Relief Fund has raised $7,050 with all proceeds going to
the Relief Fund.
“One of our partners suggested we sell a few of his holdings and give the proceeds to the Lebanon Relief Fund, and we thought it was a great idea,” said VIP Stable’s Tom Janes.
“We added shares to several other VIP Stable racehorses, and our trainer Dave Sabatelli donated what was the sale topper – a share in our three-year-old stakes winner River Shark.”
“This was a big outpouring of generosity by many of our partners and trainers who helped us raise a few dollars for the men and woman who are really hurting after the fire at Lebanon Raceway. We would like to thank everyone who offered horse shares for sale, and especially on those who made such generous bids!” added VIP’s Ed O’Connor.
