The Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation (TERF) is pleased to award $2,500 to Amplify Horse Racing to be used for educational, mentorship, and career opportunities.
Amplify Horse Racing’s mission is to amplify careers and education in the Thoroughbred industry. They do this by supporting and enhancing existing educational and engagement initiatives, while creating and developing new opportunities that lead them into the future. Amplify wants to open doors for anyone to be involved, welcoming all backgrounds, organizations, initiatives, riding disciplines, and age groups. Their goal is to generate positivity, share knowledge and experience, and collaborate.
Annise Montplaisir, President & Co-Founder states, “Amplify Horse Racing is honored to be a recipient of a TERF grant, and thankful for the support to continue advancing our mission of promoting education and careers in the Thoroughbred industry. One of our goals since Amplify’s inception has been to develop and launch a mentorship program for young adults interested in pursuing a Thoroughbred industry career. In August, we successfully launched the Amplify Horse Racing Mentorship Program, accepting 12 young adults from eight different states. We hope for it to grow and positively impact the lives of many youth and young adults, in addition to supporting industry employers who are searching for young candidates. Thank you TERF for helping us reach this milestone.”
In alignment with their mission to support and promote equine education through inclusion and engagement, TERF continues to offer their financial assistance in 2021.
TERF’s grants reflect the values set forth by founders Herb and Ellen Moelis. TERF’s current Board includes Co-Chairs Kathleen Anderson DVM and James Orsini DVM, Margaret H. Duprey, Gretchen and Roy Jackson, Ellen and Herb Moelis, Wendy Moon, Anita Motion, Toni Orsini, Scott Palmer VMD, Josh Pons, Lucy Zungailia, Katelyn Jackson, and Lynn Cassimeris, Ph.D.
