This year’s BBA “Day at the Races” raffle earnings will go towards supporting our chosen philanthropy, Best Backstretch. BEST is a nonprofit organization that is devoted to meeting the health and social welfare needs of the several thousand barn area (“backstretch”) workers of the Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga racetracks by providing on-site counseling and primary healthcare services, access to health insurance, and case management assistance.
For those attending the event, you will have the opportunity to meet BEST’s Executive Director, Pail Ruchames and Founder, Rudy Rios, both representing the Backstretch Employee Services Team of NY.
