It has been a very busy few months for the Moonee Valley Racing Club, with many initiatives undertaken that highlight the strong community spirit held at the Club having raised $32,565 between the months of May to July -
BreastWest Night at The Valley
The Western Health Foundation held their fifth annual BreastWest Night at The Valley in July and raised over $100,000 to assist women of the west facing breast cancer. Over 550 people were in attendance with entertainment from Kate Ceberano and the AFL Premiers, the Western Bulldogs.
National Jockeys Trust Raceday
The MVRC was proud to support the National Jockeys Trust Raceday Function in the Caulfield Committee Room on Saturday July 15. The event is a major fundraiser for the trust which assists jockeys and fallen riders in their families in hardships. The event raised over $400,000 in funds for this worthwhile cause.
Cox Plate Charity Pin Announcement
The MVRC is setting out to raise over $30,000 for The Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation through the sale of the 2017 Cox Plate Carnival Charity Pins.
The partnership was launched at Living Legends in Greenvale, home to 1998 W.S. Cox Plate legend Might And Power with Charity Pin Ambassador and past RCH patient Harry Coffey and his lifelong doctor and friend in RCH Associate Professor John Massie.
The life of the jockey is hard enough as it is, but for 21-year-old Coffey, these things are even tougher as he has to manage dealing with the debilitating disease Cystic Fibrosis
100% of proceeds from the sale of the 2017 Cox Plate Charity Pins will be going to The Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation and go on sale for $5 from Ladbrokes Cox Plate Qualifier Raceday on September 9.
