On behalf of the California Thoroughbred Foundation, I want to thank you for your interest and commitment to the health and welfare of the Thoroughbred. With your support, the California Thoroughbred Foundation awards much-needed scholarships to equine veterinary students at U. C. Davis and Western University of Health Sciences.
As leaders in veterinary medicine, these universities attract outstanding students for the education, experiential learning, and mentorship that positions them to be leaders. They are learning the newest technology and diagnostic techniques available today. They study hard to excel in difficult coursework and spend countless hours as externs at major clinics throughout the country.
One of the largest hurdles to overcome is the cost of their education. Our scholar-ships are some of the very few that support third-year students and graduate research fellows at a time when they need it most. Every recipient is heartened and encouraged by our foundation.
We want you to know how important it is to them. Several of our recipients have joined the safety teams at Santa Anita and Del Mar. Our Rowan Research Fellowship in advanced equine medical research disseminates medical information throughout the Thoroughbred industry.
Evolving from origins in the 1940s, the California Thoroughbred Foundation has had and continues to have the well-being of Thoroughbreds on and off the track as its focus for decades. Educating the next generation of veterinarians and biomedical researchers is at the heart of what we do.
As 2022 comes to a close, we hope that during your year-end tax planning, you will consider a tax-deductible gift to the California Thoroughbred Foundation. You take an action that is very special—your investment in our students will transform talents into lifelong careers and leadership. Donors like you are the backbone of our success. You join a group of committed philanthropic individuals whose gifts make a difference in many lives.
With my heartfelt thanks,
Ada Gates Patton
President
