I’m most pleased to report that the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame exceeded its Annual Appeal goal for 2012 of $300,000. We were able to achieve this great success thanks to the generosity of supporters such as you. We hope with your continued support to do even better in 2013 so we can continue to maintain our status as a first-class institution.

The Annual Appeal is essential in keeping our great museum running efficiently on a day-to-day basis. As a not-for-profit organization, the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame relies primarily on its benefactors to continue to thrive.

There are many tremendous programs, exhibits and initiatives currently in the works at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, including a two-year exhibit and affiliated programs associated with the 150^th anniversary of thoroughbred racing in Saratoga Springs.

It is an exciting time to be associated with such a fantastic sport and we will continue to lead the way when it comes to promoting and preserving the rich history. We ask that you help us cross the finish line. Please be generous.

                                                                  With sincere thanks,
