JOCKEYS LEAD TOY EFFORT
Each year, the jockeys at Horseshoe Indianapolis collect toys for area children in need. This year, more than 70 toys will be donated to the Shelby County CASA (Court Appointed State Advocates) for kids displaced in current home situations. This is the eighth year for the Jockey Toy Drive at Horseshoe Indianapolis.
“This toy drive is a great thing we do because we are helping a lot of kids who don’t have the opportunity to enjoy Christmas every year,” said DeShawn Parker, winner of more than 6,000 career races. “It makes all of us feel good to do something as a group to help out each year.”
The jockeys come together for various causes throughout the year. In addition to the annual toy drive, they also raised funds for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund and the Hoosier Veterans and Families Inc. of Indiana. This is the second time they have donated peanut butter to the pantry in Central Indiana for homeless veterans.
“It’s nice to help, and I want to help out whenever I can,” added Marcelino Pedroza Jr., who is a three-time leading jockey at Horseshoe Indianapolis. “Giving back is important to me. It’s the way I was raised, and I want to help any way I can. I hope we can brighten the day of a few kids this Christmas.”
