Spring Wrap Up Report_2024

THANKYOU THANKYOU

Dear Supporters,

Foxfield has made great strides since 2020. We have successfully run seven races and have invested in the property to enhance safety and the race day experience for both horses and guests. Our engagement with the community and our charitable partners is strong and growing.

Over the last three years, investments have included extensive track improvements designed to enhance horse safety and attract top owners and trainers. Highlights include a post-race horse cooling system and the installation of a track irrigation system that uses the Foxfield pond. We have also invested in systems designed to upgrade our race day guest experience, including a new sound system, better signage, and improved security and safety procedures.

None of this would have been possible without your support. Looking to the future, we have developed a strategic plan identifying areas for future investment to further elevate the race day experience, engage more deeply with the community, and preserve our precious open space.

The board and I extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated supporters, passionate volunteers, and the entire community for joining us in our mission. Your unwavering commitment and generosity have been the driving force behind Foxfield’s achievements since 2020. Together, we are making a difference and Racing with a Purpose.

Thank you for your invaluable support.

Kelsey Cox Executive Director
