Prestwick Chase made a financial donation for the upkeep of the Canfield Casino in Saratoga Springs. In past years, Prestwick Chase has hosted a Travers Gala Event at the Canfield Casino. This Gala marks the end of the Saratoga Season of Premier Horse Racing.
With the pandemic situation effecting large social gatherings, Prestwick Chase aired on the side of safety and cancelled the event it was to host this past August.
A refund was going to be given for the nights events but instead the CEO of Prestwick Chase had a better idea. The refund was given as a donation for the restoration and repairs of this wonderful historic building. Prestwick Chase and its residents have always been huge supporters of the local community. Below is the letter received, sent to John Rowe Dir. of Marketing, thanking Prestwick Chase.
Thanks John
