The U.S. Trotting Association (USTA) announced Monday (May 24) that the organization will donate $40,000 and establish a new funding mechanism to assist the Standardbred Transition Alliance (STA). The $40,000 will come from the USTA’s Support Our Standardbreds budget.
In their May 13 meeting, the USTA’s Executive Committee voted to make the contribution and establish a new, opt-in option for USTA members to donate to the STA, which will be included on all new and renewal membership applications.
“The $40,000 and the opportunity for our members to make voluntary donations through their membership applications reaffirms the USTA’s commitment to the Standardbred Transition Alliance,” said USTA Executive Vice President and CEO Mike Tanner, who initially proposed the establishment of the STA at the annual Board of Directors Meeting in March 2018.
