Located on Shelter Island, Camp Northstar provides camping and recreational experiences for persons with developmental disabilities. The camp is funded through donations and community support so that there is no cost to the campers and their families. Each year in the fall, Suffolk OTB employees sponsor a charity golf outing that benefits two charities: one a local organization and the second a group that is connected with helping an entity connected with the horseracing industry. This year’s event was held on September 15 at Bethpage State Park. The other charity to receive a $7,500 check was The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, which provides safe and caring environments for thoroughbred horses upon their retirement from racing. SROTB’s donation will benefit the Foundation’s Walkill, New York facility.
