More than two months have transpired and donations are still
coming in. At last count the total thus far sent to the National Historic
Landmark is $5,715.00.
“It may not sound like a huge sum to places like the Cancer
Society or the American Heart Association but $5700 to Historic Track will go a
lot farther than it would at any of those research foundations,” noted Bernie
White the president of the Historic Track Board of Directors.
“It’s a great tribute to Mrs. Manzi and to her husband,
John, that they’d use a personal tragedy to do something positive for the sport
that they have dedicated their lives to. Everyone knows that Historic Track has
always been dear to their hearts and with assistance the Board can
continue the Historic Landmark for generations to come.”
Historic Track, like the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of
Fame, depend greatly on fundraisers and donations to subsist. Both entities
work diligently to continue the traditions that began made Goshen, NY the
“Cradle of the Trotter.”
“I’m told there were many who donated to Historic
Track in Mrs. Manzi’s name but if there are some who would still like to send
in a donation the address is: 44 Park Place, Goshen, NY 10924,” White
added.
