EDWIN J. GREGSON FOUNDATION
In 1998, the California Thoroughbred Trainers (CTT) Board established
a nonprofit foundation in ongoing efforts to develop programs to benefit and enhance the quality of life of California's backstretch workers and their families. In 2000, the foundation was renamed in memory of veteran trainer and past CTT president Edwin J. Gregson, who was the initial driving force in the creation of the foundation.
