Turfway Racing and Gaming in Florence presented a check for $4,000 to the Jeff Ruby Foundation on Thursday. The foundation was founded in 2018 as a means of helping kids and teens in the foster care system find stable homes.

“The proceeds from the check will be used to provide children and teens with a chance to succeed by finding solutions to providing stable and loving homes for vulnerable youth, regardless of their background or circumstances,” according to a press release from the foundation.

“We are grateful for our ongoing partnership with Turfway Park Racing & Gaming,” said Dillon Ruby, president of the Jeff Ruby Foundation. “Their generosity allows us to provide more resources to organizations focused on helping vulnerable youth in our local communities.”
