An Unbridled Affair Gala

As one of the premiere events of the Saratoga summer, I hope that you will join Honorary Chairs Paul and Gwendolyn Harding as we dine and delight while mingling with friends and special guests from the world of Thoroughbred Racing. This year, we are proud to honor Tony and Joyce Mashuta as our Community Heroes, in appreciation of their longstanding commitment to strengthening the Capital Region through philanthropy and partnership.

We hope to make this year’s Gala the most spectacular and successful ever with Saratoga National’s award-winning golf course offering unsurpassed views and world class cuisine in an open-air tent. Of course, we’ll also have new and exciting items for our auction and raffle, entertainment, a captivating program, special guests, and many more surprises!
