Breeders’ Cup Charities is launching its Annual Day of Giving on July 23 with a generous $100,000 donation match from racehorse owner and philanthropist Ken Freirich, doubling contributions up to that amount. This fundraising event highlights key Thoroughbred industry charities 100 days before the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar. Freirich, who has a strong commitment to the racing community and equine welfare, encourages fans and industry supporters to donate via multiple channels, with proceeds benefiting organizations such as the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, and Race Track Chaplaincy of America.

Beyond the Annual Day of Giving, Breeders’ Cup Charities offers ongoing opportunities for fans and participants to contribute, including donations through merchandise sales, ticket purchases, special cocktails at the event, and online auctions. Freirich’s involvement reflects his broader dedication to the sport and its community, emphasizing care for horses during and after their racing careers as well as support for the people who work with them. Breeders’ Cup officials and charity leaders express deep gratitude for Freirich’s leadership and generosity, which significantly enhance the impact of their philanthropic efforts.
