Equine Memorial Match

The AAEP Foundation and Fort Dodge Animal Health present a new matching challenge program for the Foundation’s Equine Memorial Program. This new program will provide up to $25,000 in matching funds generously donated by Fort Dodge Animal Health to the AAEP Foundation.

The AAEP Foundation’s Equine Memorial Program is designed for veterinarians, their clients and horse owners, to remember a fallen horse.  Donations of $25 or more are made to the Foundation in the name of an equine friend that has died. Upon receiving the donation, a compassionate letter conveying sympathy over the loss of their equine companion is sent to the horse owner.  The letter communicates the Foundation’s commitment to supporting education, research and benevolent efforts for horses and their caretakers.

Fort Dodge Animal Health will match tax-deductible gifts made to the Equine Memorial Program before December 31, 2009.

Over the years, many veterinary practices have made this valuable program an important part of their client relations protocol. Because of this program, several owners whose horses have been remembered have in turn made donations to the Foundation to fund additional equine outreach.
