HOW RACING FANS CAN HELP

Named in memory of jockey, Don MacBeth, who died of cancer on March 1, 1987, the Don MacBeth Memorial Jockey Fund is a staunchly supported charity to assist injured and disabled riders. The fund was co-founded in late 1987 by actor/comedian Tim Conway and Judy McCarron, wife of Hall of Fame jockey, Chris McCarron.

To date, we have provided assistance to over 1000 riders, many of whom had nowhere else to turn for help. The assistance provided includes: renovation of homes to accommodate the use of wheelchairs, conversion of vans and cars with hand controls and side-gate lifts, prosthetic devices, wheelchairs, various types of physical therapy equipment, ophthalmological and dental care, plastic surgery, house and trailer payments, and food, rent and basic living expenses.

There are many riders in need of assistance. The fund assists an average of 30-to- 50 riders each month. The amount provided to the riders varies based on need, ranging from $400 to several thousand dollars. This represents approximately $20,000 a month or $240,000 a year disbursed to injured riders in need.

The Don MacBeth Fund assists only licensed jockeys or exercise riders, injured on the racetrack in a track related incident, and who are in need of financial assistance. The Fund assists thoroughbred and quarter horse riders throughout North America. A thorough screening of each case is made before any funds are disbursed.

The Don MacBeth Memorial Jockey Fund provides a much needed safety net to riders and their families.We hope that we may count on all of the fans and friends of racing to help us to continue.  If every fan just donated as little as $2.00 many riders could be helped.
