Fort Washington, MD — The Mid-Atlantic Amateur Drivers Club (MAADC) donated their collective driver percentages from the Feb. 5 and Feb. 12 harness racing programs at Rosecroft Raceway to assist fellow horseman and Maryland-based driver Declan Donoway with medical expenses incurred as he undergoes treatment for cancer.
The two-week initiative resulted in a total contribution of $1,825, which will be delivered directly to the Donoway family via the Maryland Standardbred Horsemen’s Assistance Fund.
The amateur driving community is known for its competitive spirit on the track, but this gesture underscores the deep-rooted camaraderie and support system that exists within the harness racing industry. As Donoway focuses on his health and recovery, members of the MAADC wanted to ensure he knew the racing community stood firmly behind him.
“This is exactly what the Mid-Atlantic Amateur Drivers Club is all about,” said Gene Robinson. “We are a tight-knit group, and we believe in helping the industry and our fellow horsemen wherever and whenever we can. Declan is one of our own, and we are honored to support him during this fight.”
The MAADC extends its gratitude to the management at Rosecroft Raceway and the many fans who continue to support Maryland harness racing. The club remains committed to promoting amateur driving while fostering a spirit of philanthropy and community within the sport.
