Book signings
From AlexBrownRacing
The following is the schedule for book signings and presentations for Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro and his Legacy up to and including the Triple Crown series.
Note: A very generous FOB will contribute $1 per book sold at book signings, up to $500, to be split evenly between the Laminitis Fund and CANTER. This donation has been matched, so we are now $2 / book! 1039 books sold so far through the book signings.
For the next 500 books sold at signings, another FOB has offered $1 per book, to be split between the Laminitis Fund, and Barbaro Fund at New Bolton Center.
I will be adding to this page as new venues are added. If you are able to help me set up a book signing, please e-mail me.
