The facility was dedicated to Oscar J. Tolmas, a New Orleans native born in 1920, who formed the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust. Mr. Tolmas was a lifelong resident of New Orleans. He was a Veteran of WWII, attorney and real estate developer, but horse racing was his passion. In his last will and testament, he formed the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust to help other tax-exempt charitable organizations with their mission of helping others. His legacy and generosity will live on in the hearts of many.
