Breeders' Cup and Maker's Mark® have teamed up again to create a second, three-bottle, limited-edition collection featuring a few of the most legendary Champions in Breeders’ Cup history. The 2020 beneficiaries include the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, Old Friends Farm and the Race Track Chaplaincy of America’s COVID19 Industry Relief Efforts.
Charity for Champions, was launched in 2015 in partnership with Maker's Mark®. The program was designed to support both Equine charities as well as local charities in the markets the Breeders’ Cup World Championships are hosted. Each year of the first, three-year program, a Limited-Edition Commemorative Maker’s Mark® Bottle was released featuring a Breeders’ Cup Champion. The 2015 bottles featured A.P. Indy, Lure, and Personal Ensign and the beneficiaries included Grayson Jockey Club Foundation, Kentucky Horse Park Foundation, The Lexington Cancer Foundation, The Race for Education, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center Foundation.
