A graduate of Hollins University, Hampton Luzak has worked in advertising, fashion, television, and film. She has most recently leveraged her creativity to restore and preserve the architecture of historic homes. Dedicated to giving back, Hampton Luzak supports several nonprofit groups, including the ASPCA.
In addition to rescuing and facilitating the adoptions of at-risk dogs and cats, the ASPCA advances a variety of programs and initiatives to protect farm and working animals. Since 2010, it has conducted its Rescuing Racers Initiative, which provides financial support for organizations that care for retired racehorses.
As part of the initiative, the ASPCA recently awarded $185,000 to 10 equine rescue groups. They include the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, Canter, and MidAtlantic Horse Rescue. With the recent funding included, the ASPCA has awarded equine organizations nationwide more than $2 million since founding the initiative.
Along with providing funds to protect retired racehorses, the ASPCA advocates for stronger regulations in the racing industry. Most recently, the organization has been advocating for the Horseracing Integrity Act of 2017, which would establish anti-doping and safety regulations in horse racing.
