Fund-A-Need
Put your dollars to work at the Thoroughbred Makeover!
Through our Fund-A-Need program, donors can provide directed donations to help alleviate the many underlying costs associated with producing a competition of this caliber. With donation levels to match any budget, there is no gift too small: your contribution will directly support the production of this one-of-a-kind retraining event!
Fund-a-Need will launch in the spring of 2025.
Fund-A-Need Donation Options
Volunteer Coffee
$3.00/cup
The Makeover runs on the best volunteers around, but a little caffeine doesn’t hurt either. Help us cover daily coffee and tea service for our team!
Completion Ribbons
$4.00/ribbon
Making it to the Makeover is an accomplishment on its own! Fund Makeover completion ribbons and help trainers to commemorate the countless hours they've invested in getting their OTTB to the Makeover.
Volunteer Lunch
$13.00/lunch
It's more than a sandwich! You can buy a lunch for one of the over 150 volunteers who generously donate their time at the Makeover. From scribes to jump crew, our volunteers make the Makeover happen.
Jump Decor
$50.00/jump
Bloom where you’re planted… especially the competition arenas! Jump decor is the finishing touch that makes the Makeover look and feel like a national-level competition: fund jump decor and make our competitors’ dreams come true.
Discipline Ribbons
$450/discipline
With 10 disciplines as well as dedicated ribbons for amateurs, juniors, and teams, there are hundreds of ribbons to give out at the Makeover. Support your favorite one by funding discipline ribbons.
