A Heartfelt Big Time Thanks to Saratoga Casino and Raceway

Saratoga Springs Lion Cliff Van Wagner presents Don Braim, Senior VP of Racing at Saratoga Casino & Raceway, an appreciation momento from the Saratoga Springs Lions Club for the company’s on going major sponsorship of the club’s annual duathlon.

It’s always a special luncheon when our club can recognize an individual or business that supports our important mission, with their generosity and spirit of  giving – helping us to serve others.  Today , May 1, 2014, we recognized Saratoga Casino and Raceway at our weekly luncheon.

They have been a valuable partner of the Lion’s Duathlon for the past nine years. The last three years the Casino and Raceway have been a major sponsor donating $5000.   The use of the facilities at no charge to the Lions Club allows us to stage a great experience for both the participating athletes and many spectators the event draws each year.

The 2014 edition, the 10th annual will be held on May 25.

Importantly, from a fundraising standpoint, the event has been a tremendous success in helping The Saratoga Springs Lions Club Foundation make significant contributions to major projects and initiatives related to sight & hearing, community projects and scholastic scholarships.

Specific beneficiaries of the Lions major financial support include The Lions Eye Institute located in Albany, the Saratoga Springs Community Health Center initiative by Saratoga Hospital and Scholarships for area youth.

THANKS AGAIN DON BRAIM & SARATOGA CASINO & RACEWAY !!!  YOU GUYS ROCK
