$10,000
contribution continues yearly tradition of giving
NICHOLS, NY – The holiday season was a little
brighter for hundreds of area families thanks to the generosity of the Southern
Tier Harness Horsemen’s Association.
The group, whose members compete at Tioga Downs, made a
$10,000 donation in December to the Food Bank of the Southern Tier, which
serves a six-county region in and around Tioga Downs.
“This donation has become a yearly tradition for our
organization and we are thrilled to support the Food Bank especially during the
holiday season,” said Guy Howard, president of the S.T.H.H.A. “We have a great
working relationship with Tioga Downs and Jeff Gural, and since they are such
strong supporters of the Food Bank, we are happy to follow their lead and join
them with our support.”
The ninth season of live racing at Tioga Downs is scheduled
to begin on Kentucky Derby Day, May 3, 2014 (pending regulatory approval).
