THOROFAN ESTABLISHES THE TIMOTHY "TIZNOW" REYNOLDS MEMORIAL FUND
09-30-2011 --

by Gene Kershner, ThoroFan Board of Directors Member

I have been working with Stacy Berge, Director of Operations of Thoroughbred Legends Racing Stables to put together a Timothy "Tiznow" Reynolds Memorial Fund (for the benefit of his daughter, Lauren Reynolds) utilizing ThoroFan's 501(c)(3) designation to serve as the conduit of the funds.  Tim, an avid racing fan, passed away prematurely earlier in the week leaving behind a wife and 8-year old daughter. Tim was prominent within the Facebook horse racing community and was named Fan of the Year by the Horse Racing Nation website last year.

During Thursday’s ThoroFan Board meeting the establishment of the Fund was presented and was passed unanimously. The Fund meets the stated mission of our not-for-profit organization whereas our articles of incorporation include a statement that we “promote charitable and educational activities that are of interest to fans of thoroughbred racing." This endeavor certainly meets the spirit of why ThoroFan was formed.

The donations are tax deductible and will be segregated in a separate account to be disbursed annually on Lauren’s birthday to her current 529 plan or for vital expenses submitted on her behalf.  We are pleased to announce we have the approval of the Reynolds Family in announcing the establishment of this Fund.
