Themed “A Day at the Races” by Claremont West End Auxiliary who fundraises for Children’s Fund, promises to be a fun-filled day for all who attend on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at the Santa Anita Park at 285 West Huntington Drive in Arcadia. “What a great way to enjoy a Saturday with friends and family,” says JoAnn Mineer, a long-standing member of the Claremont West End Auxiliary. “We have put together a race package that includes admission, valet parking and lunch in the Club House Plaza. And, what’s great is that while you are enjoying yourself you will also be raising money for the at-risk children in our local communities.” President and CEO Erin Phillips of Children’s Fund states, “Claremont West End Auxiliary fundraises for us throughout the year. The excitement of thoroughbred racing at such a beautiful venue is an enjoyable experience. Children’s Fund is grateful for the support that the Auxiliary gives to help make brighter tomorrows for the underprivileged children in our communities.” The gates open at 10:30 a.m. and the races begin at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are available by calling JoAnne Mineer at 909.593.8129 or Barbara Williams at 909.899.6797. Tickets are priced are $65 each. Founded in 1958 by a group of West End ladies, Claremont West End Auxiliary have been providing support for adoptive children and families. In 1992 the Auxiliary decided to dedicate their time and energy to support Children’s Fund. Today, the Auxiliary continues to raise funds, promote community awareness and carry out projects in support of children at risk through activities such as the Home Tour, Membership Tea and A Day at the Races. Created in 1986, Children’s Fund is a non-profit whose mission is to prevent child abuse in our community; to ensure that at-risk children who are abused, neglected, impoverished, or abandoned receive adequate food, shelter, clothing, medical care and education; and to provide equal opportunity for social development for these children. Since its inception, Children’s Fund has served more than 1.3 million children.
