Winners Foundation celebrates over 30 years of providing confidential assistance and referrals to employees in the California horse racing industry struggling with substance abuse, compulsive gambling, or mental health issues. It was founded in 1984 by prominent horsemen to help those with afflictions get a second chance. Winners Foundation has expanded its reach from the racetracks to provide referrals to a variety of treatment facilities and services at no cost to employees. The organization is praised by the racing community for counseling many employees back to fulfillment and allowing them to continue their careers.
