The Backstretch Employee Service
Team of New York (B.E.S.T.) received a gift
from the Adirondack Trust Co. in the form
of twenty Igloo Coolers and 10 cases of Saratoga
Natural Spring Water to support the employees
of the Saratoga Race Course Backstretch.
Accordingly to Charles V. Wait, Jr. Vice President
of The Adirondack Trust Company, “as we
celebrate the 150th anniversary of racing in
Saratoga Springs this summer we thought it
would be ideal to also recognize the employees
of the backstretch with this gift of coolers and
water. They do a tremendous job in supporting
the Saratoga Race Course and are the backbone
to what makes this a world-class horse racing
venue, now 150 years old. We are indebted to
their service and are proud to help them with
this gift.”
B.E.S.T. is a non-profit organization whose
mission is to provide the close to 2,000 barn
area workers of the Saratoga Race Course with
free medical care, health insurance, counseling,
food, clothing, transportation and translation
assistance.
