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 to collaborate.
Annise Montplaisir, President & Co-Founder states, “Thanks to grant support from TERF, Amplify Horse Racing has been able to facilitate 30 mentees in 2023–more than any previous year. Our mentorship program connects youth and young adults who have an interest in the Thoroughbred industry but limited experience or connections, with industry mentors who provide guidance and support on their learning journey. With the help of organizations like TERF who share our educational mission, Amplify is going to continue expanding and building pathways for the next generation to be involved in the Thoroughbred industry.”
In alignment with their mission to support and promote equine education through inclusion and 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, Lynn Cassimeris, Ph.D, Margaret H. Duprey, Gretchen and Roy Jackson, Katelyn Jackson, Ellen Moelis, Cory Moelis, Wendy Moon, Anita Motion, Scott Palmer VMD, and Josh Pons.
