Friends of Danada was incorporated by the State of Illinois in 1986 to promote and encourage civic, patriotic, historical or educational activity.  To foster this purpose and to assist and support the Forest Preserve District, Friends of Danada created the Fact Finders History Committee in 2011 to research and document the history of Dan and Ada Rice, the Rice Estate and the Ada L. Rice Racing Stables as well as Friends of Danada and the Danada Equestrian Center.  The Committee is made up of Friends of Danada Volunteers one of whom is a member of the Friends of Danada Board of Trustees.

Dan Rice left a large part of his estate to be distributed among five medical schools to establish scholarships for needy students. The Rice Foundation continues to donate to causes benefiting natural resources, medical research and the community.

Dan Rice and his wife, Ada, contributed to many charities and organizations and created the Rice Foundation which is still running today.

The Rice Foundation gives contributions to places that the Rices believed in such as programs to prevent child abuse and for many research areas such as plant development and preservation, medical advancement and animal conservation.

That the winner of the Kentucky Derby receives a gold trophy while the jockey, trainer and breeder receive a silver ½ size replica of the main gold trophy.

Ada Rice’s filly, Pucker Up, won the Arlington Park Matron race in 1957.

To complete the KY Derby trophy by April, construction begins during the fall of the previous year, the completed trophy takes approximately 2000 hours of labor.

The naming of a racehorse must be submitted and approved by The Jockey Club in New York. The names must not exceed 16 letters in length, including spaces between words, and must not duplicate or resemble too closely the name of any other horse.

That in the summer of 1943, Mrs. Rice suggested that it would be fun to race some horses, so Dan purchased eight horses from Fasig-Tipton’s tent sale at Keenland for her. Seven of the eight won races the first year.

Dan & Ada Rice received a silk replica of the rose garland which drapes the winning horse. The practice of the silk garland was discontinued in 1966.
