Harness: New Vocations seeking sponsors, auction items

Auction items and table sponsors are needed for the annual Pre-Jug Party and Charity Auction held Wednesday September 18, at the Delaware County Fair. The proceeds go to rehab, retrain and rehome retired Standardbreds and the Delaware County Fair. This gala event is held in the Hospitality Pavilion in the first turn following the Jugette card. Attendees will enjoy gourmet hor d’oheurves, an open bar, live music and shopping the charity auction which is also held online.

“We’re asking owners, breeders, trainers, drivers, racetracks and those that benefit from racing, to please support this important fundraiser,” said New Vocations Executive Director Dot Morgan. “Vacations, experiences, equine services, entertainment tickets, jewelry, memorabilia and tack, as well as home and barn accessories, are being sought to help make this event a success.”

Table Sponsors are also needed and a good option in lieu of merchandise or services. Show your support by sponsoring a table in your name, your stable, your farm, or the name of a favorite horse. Seating is Open but signs on the tables recognize the sponsors. Sponsor a table for $400 and receive tickets for six people; co-sponsors for $200 receive two tickets.

“New Vocations is totally dependent on donations to rehabilitate, retrain, and rehome hundreds of retired racehorses each year,” said Executive Director Dot Morgan. “Participating in this event is a fun & easy way to give back to the horses we all love.”
