🏇 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – Adrianne DeVaux Racing! 🏇

There’s something special about people who understand that winning isn’t always measured by what happens in the winner’s circle. Sometimes, it’s about patience. It’s about trust. It’s about knowing the horse in front of you and giving them the time, care and opportunity to be their very best.

That philosophy is at the heart of Adrianne DeVaux Racing, and we are thrilled to have Adrianne joining us for Flight for Cancer as a first-time sponsor and Closest to the Pin Sponsor for our Singles Tournament!

A lifelong horsewoman with deep roots in the racing world, Adrianne DeVaux is a New York State Thoroughbred trainer who is building her own name and her own stable while carrying forward a lifetime of experience around the racetrack. A South Glens Falls native and member of the DeVaux racing family, Adrianne learned the business from some of the best in the industry.

What really stands out about Adrianne is her philosophy toward the horses she trains. Her approach is horse-first — focusing on the health, wellbeing and long-term development of each horse rather than simply pushing for a win every time they step onto the track. She believes in knowing her horses, developing relationships with her owners and making smart decisions about when and where a horse should compete.

And that approach is already producing results. Since launching her own operation in 2024, Adrianne has recorded four wins on the NYRA circuit, with more than $163,000 in career earnings. Horses including Shoot the Nickel, Marcus Gift and Sky Low Low have helped establish her young stable, with Sky Low Low earning a runner-up finish at Saratoga last summer and returning to compete at the Spa this season.

This summer, Adrianne is right here at Saratoga Race Course, continuing to grow her stable and chase that first victory of her own in the Saratoga winner's circle. After years of standing alongside some of racing's biggest names, she's now writing her own chapter in the sport.

We are incredibly grateful that Adrianne has chosen to support Flight for Cancer. Her commitment to putting the wellbeing of her horses first is a wonderful reflection of the same kind of compassion and care that inspires our mission.
If you're at Saratoga this summer, keep an eye out for Adrianne and her horses — because this is a young trainer who is just getting started. 🏆

🌿🐴 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – Swedish Hill Farm & Spa! 🐴🌿

Some places have a way of making you slow down the moment you arrive. Swedish Hill Farm + Spa is one of those places. There is something about the peaceful farm setting, the quiet surroundings and the horses grazing nearby that instantly puts you at ease. It is a place where you can take a breath, let the outside world fade away and simply relax.

We are so grateful to Swedish Hill Farm + Spa for their generous $100 gift card donation to our Flight for Cancer raffle!

Located just outside Saratoga Springs, Swedish Hill Farm + Spa offers a truly unique spa experience — a private, tranquil retreat nestled on a beautiful horse farm. Their massage and spa services are designed around relaxation, healing and overall wellbeing, with treatments including Swedish, deep tissue, therapeutic and sports massage, facials, cupping and more.

And then there's Anna Hollander.

Anna is one of those genuinely beautiful souls who seems to have built her life around helping others — whether that means helping a client release stress and tension through healing touch or giving a retired racehorse the patience, care and opportunity to begin a new chapter.

With more than 30 years of experience in massage therapy and a lifelong connection to horses, Anna has created something truly special at Swedish Hill Farm. Her own philosophy centers on helping people achieve a greater sense of wellbeing, while her love and dedication to Thoroughbreds is evident throughout the farm.

The farm is home to After The Races NY, Anna's Thoroughbred aftercare organization, which provides retired racehorses with rehabilitation, retraining and the opportunity for a second career. Anna has been transitioning former racehorses for more than 25 years, giving these incredible athletes the individualized attention and patience they deserve after their racing careers.

There is something incredibly meaningful about that mission — helping both people and horses heal, recover and find their next chapter, something that resonates well with Joy US Foundation.

Anna, thank you for your incredible generosity and for supporting Flight for Cancer and the Joy US Foundation.

🚛 Sponsor Spotlight – Excavating and Trucking, LLC 🚛

Some businesses don’t just write a check and put their name on a sponsorship—they see an opportunity to help their community and step up without hesitation. Emerson Excavating & Trucking is one of those businesses.

We are proud to recognize Emerson Excavating & Trucking as a FIRST-TIME Silver Sponsor of Flight For Cancer!

If it needs to be moved, hauled, delivered, or transported, Emerson has the equipment and experience to get the job done. Their services include heavy equipment hauling, dump truck hauling, aggregate and material delivery, and a variety of specialized trailer options for moving everything from construction materials to large equipment. They also provide excavation, grading, land clearing, equipment moving, and more throughout the Capital Region.

But what stands out to us most isn't just what Emerson can haul—it's what they're willing to carry for their community.

From the very beginning, they were eager to support Flight For Cancer and willing to step in and help make a difference. That kind of generosity means so much to a small nonprofit like the Joy US Foundation, because every sponsorship helps us continue providing meaningful outdoor experiences and support to families facing cancer.

Emerson Excavating & Trucking is a true community partner—a local, family-run business that understands that sometimes the most important thing you can haul isn't dirt, stone, or equipment…it's a little bit of hope for someone who really needs it.

Please join us in giving a huge THANK YOU to Emerson Excavating and Trucking LLC for becoming part of the Flight For Cancer family!

🖤 RAFFLE SPOTLIGHT – Andromeda Tattoo! 🖤

Some businesses you walk into and immediately know you’ve found a place with personality. Andromeda Tattoo is definitely one of them. From the moment you step through the door, the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are incredibly friendly, and there is no shortage of things to catch your eye — with awesome artwork, pop-culture pieces and unique décor throughout the studio. It feels like part tattoo studio, part art gallery, and completely its own thing.

We are incredibly grateful to Andromeda Tattoo for donating a $100 gift card to the Flight for Cancer raffle!

Located in Ballston Spa, just outside Saratoga Springs, Andromeda is a collaborative tattoo studio made up of independent artists, each bringing their own style and artistic strengths to the studio. Their artists work across a wide range of styles, from fine-line and illustrative work to black-and-grey, bold color, anime, New School and pop-culture-inspired pieces.

Andromeda also puts a huge emphasis on the experience — not just the tattoo. Their appointment-first approach allows artists to spend time with clients discussing their ideas, placement, design and expectations. The studio emphasizes cleanliness, safety, communication and making sure clients feel comfortable and respected throughout the entire process.

There's also something really special about the creative spirit behind Andromeda. The studio describes itself as a place where artists can grow, continue their education and develop their craft while working together under one roof. It is a space built around art, individuality and creativity — and you can feel that the minute you walk in.

Thank you, Andromeda Tattoo, for supporting Flight for Cancer and the Joy US Foundation.

Kingpin’s Alley is a family-owned South Glens Falls business that has made family fun and community connection a priority. With bowling, leagues, tournaments, an arcade, escape rooms, karaoke, parties and group events, they truly have something for everyone.

They are the kind of community partner who is always ready to help when we need them. They don't just support Joy US Foundation with sponsorships—they show up, they collaborate, and they help us create experiences that families facing incredibly difficult circumstances can look forward to.

That kind of generosity and commitment is priceless.

🏆✨ Sponsor Spotlight: Top Tier Laser ✨🏆

Some trophies collect dust...

These become treasured keepsakes.

It means so much to have Top Tier Laser returning for their 3rd year supporting Flight For Cancer. Their continued generosity has become a part of what makes this event so special.

Owned and operated by Brittany and Justin Flewelling right here in South Glens Falls, Top Tier Laser has become the go-to destination for custom laser engraving and personalized gifts. Whether it's beautifully crafted cutting boards, engraved drinkware, custom signs, home décor, business branding, awards, or one-of-a-kind gifts, they have a reputation for turning great ideas into stunning creations with exceptional attention to detail.

This year, they're once again creating our custom etched Champion Cups that will be awarded to our tournament winners. These aren't your average trophies—they're unique pieces that commemorate an incredible accomplishment while supporting an even greater cause.

🏴‍☠️ Hope comes in many forms.

Sometimes it's helping a family navigate one of life's hardest battles. Other times, it's giving a retired racehorse the chance to begin an entirely new chapter.

Those two missions come together beautifully through Pirates' Promise, and that's why we are incredibly honored to recognize them as a Platinum Plus Sponsor of the 3rd Annual Flight For Cancer Disc Golf Tournament.

For years, Pirates' Promise has been a steadfast supporter of both Flight For Cancer and the Joy US Foundation, and their commitment to giving hope has never wavered.

Founded by Audrey Mager, Pirates' Promise is dedicated to providing retired Thoroughbreds and other sport horses with the safe, compassionate futures they deserve after their competitive careers. Through rehabilitation, retraining, responsible retirement, and finding new purpose, they ensure these incredible athletes are given the second chance they've earned. Their mission isn't simply about caring for horses—it's about restoring hope, creating new beginnings, and strengthening the bond between horses and the community.

That mission resonates deeply with all of us at the Joy US Foundation.

Just as Pirates' Promise gives retired racehorses a future beyond the finish line, the Joy US Foundation strives to give individuals and families facing cancer something just as powerful—hope beyond diagnosis. Through outdoor adventures, family experiences, and unwavering support, we help create moments of healing, joy, and togetherness when they're needed most.

It's partnerships like this that remind us how compassion can take many different forms, but its impact is always the same.

To Audrey, Adrianne and everyone at Pirates' Promise, thank you for believing in our mission and for standing beside the Joy US Foundation year after year.

🍔 Some sponsors write a check. Others roll up with grills, coolers, snacks, and a whole lot of heart.

From the very first Flight For Cancer Disc Golf Tournament, S Murray Services LLC has been there making sure no player, volunteer, or spectator goes hungry. Every year, Steve and Scott don't simply order catering—they bring their own equipment, fire up the grill, and spend the day cooking for everyone. And they don't stop there! Between rounds they're back at it with hot dogs, snacks, and smiles, making sure our players are fueled up and ready to finish strong.

That level of generosity says everything about who they are.

Based in Fort Ann, Murray Services has earned a reputation as one of the area's trusted general contractor, specializing in breathing new life into older homes that require craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail. From complete renovations to beautiful custom cabinetry, closets, trim work, and handcrafted doors, they take pride in creating one-of-a-kind spaces built to last. And if you've ever dreamed of adding a custom Dutch door to your home... Steve is definitely the guy to call! Their custom woodworking and finish carpentry are just another example of the quality and care they bring to every project.

As if that wasn't enough, owner Steve Murray also proudly serves on the Joy US Foundation Board of Directors, volunteering his time, talents, and leadership to help our mission grow throughout the year. His commitment goes far beyond a single tournament—he is deeply invested in bringing hope, healing, and outdoor experiences to families impacted by cancer.

Steve, Scott, and everyone at Murray Services, thank you for standing with Flight For Cancer since Day One. Your generosity, hard work, and unwavering support have become a tradition our players look forward to every year, and we simply couldn't do this without you.

🏡 Major Sponsor Spotlight – Lisa Ostrander-Realtor 🏡

Some people help families find a house. Lisa Ostrander helps them find a place to call home.

For the third consecutive year, Lisa has chosen to invest in something just as meaningful by returning as a Major Sponsor of Flight for Cancer. Her continued generosity is a reflection of the kind of person she is—someone who gives wholeheartedly, serves selflessly, and always puts others first. We are incredibly proud to call Lisa part of the Joy US Foundation and Flight for Cancer family. 💙

As a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker with Howard Hanna, Lisa has spent nearly two decades helping buyers and sellers throughout Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Essex, and surrounding counties. She has earned a reputation for going above and beyond, offering honest guidance, unwavering support, and treating every client like family. It's no surprise that so many of her clients become lifelong friends and enthusiastically recommend her to others.

But if you know Lisa, you know her heart extends far beyond real estate.

Whether she's tending to her beautiful flower gardens, caring for her buzzing beehives, collecting fresh eggs from her chickens, or lending a helping hand to someone in need, Lisa pours the same passion into her community that she does into every aspect of her life. She reminds us that the most beautiful things we can grow aren't flowers—they're kindness, compassion, and hope.

Lisa, thank you for believing in our mission for the past three years. Thank you for leading with generosity, serving your community with such compassion, and reminding us all what it means to give back. We are truly honored to have you as part of the Joy US Foundation family.
