Each year to boost employee moral, the GE Aero Energy Employees Fun Team chooses an event to tie into current events and holidays and this year it was the Kentucky Derby race. They bought toy hobby horses and had 6 members from their leadership team ride them in a mock derby race. They placed "bets" on the various horses and the horse with the most bets got a head start. Winning bets got the option of either doubling their money or donating to charity. All losing bets went directly to charity and they chose HART. Rob Anthony explained, It was a much bigger success than any of us imagined. The $1,300 was after we paid for lunch, expenses, etc.. Thank you GE Aero Engery Employees as words cannot express how happy this donation made us feel. We are so very fortunate that you decided to help us save animals lives and with this donation.
