Plenty of people have entered to win a reserved picnic table at the Belmont Stakes at the Saratoga Race Course. However, several local charities will each get one with their name on it.
NYRA is providing 25 local nonprofits with a reserved picnic table for each day of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, from June 6 through June 9.
The tables will be used for fundraising activities, donor support or to raise awareness for their respective missions.
The Belmont Stakes was moved to Saratoga Race Course this year, because Belmont Park on Long Island is in the middle of a major construction project.
