Dear After the Finish Line Supporters,
After the Finish Line is hosting their summer fundraiser, "A Tribute to the Majesty of Thoroughbreds", on Thursday, July 30th from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm at The Hilton Hotel ~ Del Mar. This is your chance to show support for the Thoroughbreds who can no longer race or breed. Racing brings great excitement to the fans and the Thoroughbreds work hard for our enjoyment. We must not forget them in their time of need.
You can print out and return the fundraiser Invitation with your payment or use the Paypal link on our website. Please consider making a donation if you are unable to attend. Your support is greatly appreciated. Volunteers are welcome. For additional information contact Dawn at dawn@afterthefinishline.org or 858-945-1371.
After the Finish Line has received over 100 silent auction items from throughout the United States. We are grateful for the support from businesses, individuals and the racing industry. People feel strongly about helping the rescued Thoroughbreds but they don't know who they can trust with their donations. After the Finish Line has already helped 60 equine organizations and their Thoroughbreds. ATFL is the organization you can trust to help the rescued Thoroughbred racehorses and broodmares.

Two local business are planning fundraisers for After the Finish Line prior to the start of the racing season here in Del Mar, Calif. On July 10th, Fairen Del's hat extravaganza is sure to benefit the Thoroughbreds. This hat was named After the Finish Line. On July 19th, Mog and Rue is hosting their fundraiser, Off to the Races Shopping Event. I look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you again for your continued support of our efforts to help the rescued Thoroughbreds. See you on July 30th!
Sincerely,
