Ruidoso Downs creates Account to Receive Donations for Fire Victims of South Fork and Salt Fires

From AQHA:

“Ruidoso Downs Race Track has created a special account for members of the horse racing industry to make a donation for victims of the recent South Fork and Salt Fires in the Ruidoso area.

“The entire community has been impacted—we have a number of our local residents that have lost their homes,” General Manager Rick Baugh said. “Ruidoso Downs will provide $20,000 in seed money to open the account and we challenge all members of the racing industry to help by making a tax-deductible contribution to the account that will go directly to victims of the recent fires.”

The account will be easy to access through www.raceruidoso.com and the track’s Facebook and social media pages. Donations can also be made by calling the race track at 575-378-4431…”
