WHAT: Foxfield Spring Races is a beloved Central Virginia tradition since 1978, the Foxfield Spring Races bring together the thrill of steeplechase racing, vibrant tailgating culture, community traditions, and a full day of outdoor celebration.
WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, April 25 / 2215 Foxfield Track, Charlottesville, VA
PHILANTROPIC PARTNERSHIP: Foxfield Races will once again partner with Camp Holiday Trails, a Charlottesville non-profit that provides camp experiences to children ages 7-17 with medical needs from Virginia and surrounding states. Camp Holiday Trails, which has received over $225,000 in the last 5 years, will once again be a recipient of support from race day proceeds.
“Partnering with Foxfield Races has resulted in more kids with medical needs benefiting from our camp experiences, and the groundbreaking of our new Med Korner facility for year-round use. Our campers talk about coming to Camp feeling like coming home. We feel that way about our work with Foxfield as well!” — Tina LaRoche, Executive Director of Camp Holiday Trails
