Don Richards Day is a dedication to one of the most respected men in harness racing. The day will be filled with many activities starting with “Girls On The Run” wearing the familiar black and orange colors of Don Richards as they will walk the track in a pledge fund raiser. This group of teenage girls from the Portland area and their families and friends will be walking from 10 A.M. to Noon and will be taking “Lap Pledges” on how many times the various participants can traverse the half mile oval.

Around Noon there will be a buffet in both the grandstand and the paddock. Many groups will be dedicating their time in putting together a feast to be remembered.

There will be a 50/50 raffle plus an auction

Money raised will be donated to both the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Cumberland Maine Rescue Squad. Don attributes the diligence of the rescue squad in saving his life.

We are looking for the support of Don's friends. Please make cash contributions to:

On your check please write "Don Richards Day" in the memo section
