GET INVOLVED
The Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF) is an independent charitable organization that provides financial assistance to jockeys who have suffered catastrophic on-track injuries.
Donate to PDJF
Jockeys give their bodies, their careers, and sometimes their futures to this sport. PDJF ensures that when the ride ends, support does not.
Shop our Marketplace
When you purchase PDJF branded items from our store, you’re doing more than shopping—you’re changing lives. Every hat, shirt, or accessory proudly carries the story of the recipients. Wearing PDJF gear is also a way to stand with the racing community.
Leave a Google Review
Leaving a Google review might feel small—but for PDJF.org, it’s a quiet power move that really helps. Reviews often share why someone supports PDJF—maybe a personal story, admiration for jockeys, or gratitude for the help PDJF provides. Those stories connect emotionally and remind others that this mission is about people, not just donations.
Promote our Stories
Most fans never see what happens after the fall. When people hear a jockey’s name, see their face, and learn what their life looks like after injury, the cause becomes real. Stories turn “someone” into someone you care about.
Donate in Honor of
When you donate to PDJF in honor of someone, it means you are making a gift to celebrate a living person, group, or occasion while helping permanently disabled jockeys at the same time. An “in honor of” donation recognizes someone who has made a difference in your life or in racing.
Donate in Memory of Ron Turcotte
The Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund honors the legacy of our greatest champion, Ron Turcotte. His commitment to his fellow fallen riders was beyond measure and his efforts on their behalf were unmatched.
SUPPORT OUR MISSION
The PDJF has no guaranteed funding from within the horse racing industry and is 100% dependent on donations from people like YOU! The PDJF Endowment Fund is of critical importance to provide long-term, stable funding for many years to come so that we do not have to rely on the charitable donations of individuals and organizations year-to-year.
