For the entire month of May, the Volunteer Center of Bergen County
will be the Charity of the Month at Meadowlands Racing and Entertainment. During
every live racing night, guests can donate $1 to the Charity of the Month to
participate in the horse toss for the Horseplay Car Giveaway that takes place
after Race 9 each night. Meadowlands Racing and Entertainment will match every
dollar raised in the horse toss and donate the proceeds to the Volunteer Center
of Bergen County.
Horseplay
Car Giveaway participants will receive a numbered rubber horse and attempt to
throw it into the window of a moving car. A winner, randomly chosen from all
the horses that make it into the car, will receive a $100 betting voucher. Each
night’s winner will be entered into a grand prize drawing to win a Scion FRS on
Hambletonian Day, Saturday, August 8th. After the horse toss each
night, children are encouraged to pick up all the rubber horses left on the
track and receive a free ice cream.
The
Volunteer Center of Bergen County is a non-profit organization based in
Hackensack that strengthens the community by connecting people through service
and developing civic leaders. The Volunteer Center’s programs include the Chore
Service, which provides minor home repairs, including installing safety grab
bars, to people who are elderly and/or disabled; Mentoring Youth, a mentoring
for children with emotional, social or behavioral challenges; Mentoring Moms,
which provides mentors to mothers whose children are at-risk for abuse or
neglect and Bergen LEADS, a learning and leadership program for adults.
