Jockeys & Jeans Hosts Successful Fundraiser for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund
This was the 10th annual Jockeys and Jeans fundraiser. In total, the organization raised a one-year record of $453,760 for the PDJF from February 2024 to February 2025, which also included proceeds from stallion season sales.
Jockeys & Jeans is proud to share the success of our recent fundraising event held in support of the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF). Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and racing community, we raised $292,000 that will directly benefit jockeys whose lives have been forever changed by catastrophic on-track injuries.
​
The day brought together Hall of Fame riders, our fallen jockeys, former and current riders, industry leaders, horse racing fans, and supporters from across the country for a celebration of courage, resilience, and giving. Guests enjoyed meeting and listening to inspiring stories from former and current riders, exciting live and silent auctions, lunch, and the camaraderie of a community united by a shared love for the sport and its athletes.
​
Since its founding in 2014, Jockeys & Jeans has raised over $3.85 million for the PDJF, and this year's event continued that tradition of compassion and commitment. Every dollar raised helps provide essential support and a better quality of life for permanently disabled jockeys who have given so much to the sport we love.
​
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, donated, or volunteered. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of these brave men and women.
