Rich McManus Memorial Fund

UPDATE 12/29/23: Thank you to all of you who have given so far. I'm increasing the goal of this fundraiser to $12,000 to help Nikki and Dominick as they face increasing financial strain as a result of Rich's sudden passing.

PLUS: For those of you who live close enough to Alhambra to consider providing some home-cooked meals, I've set up a meal train for Wednesdays and Sundays. Here is the link: https://mealtrain.com/vkrmgy

Hi, I'm Tom Badzey, and I am honored to have called Rich McManus my friend. We are all still reeling from his sudden passing on 12/10/23. For those of us who knew Rich, whether as a friend, a family member, or a well-loved producer in the horse racing community, we all will miss his witty humor, his sharp-as-a-tack intelligence, and his genuine caring, especially for those afflicted by injustice in all its forms.

I've set up this GoFundMe fundraiser in the hopes that you will be able to contribute and help his beloved wife Nikki and son Dominick with the many costs associated with his funeral and memorial. Please give what you can ... any little bit helps. I miss him already, and I'm hopeful that this small gesture will provide support for his family during this difficult time.

In addition to any donation you can provide, please also feel free to leave comments or personal stories on this page as a testament to Rich's spirit, which will always live on.
