A request for support and a save-the-date for the 2017 Pink Cup in Hobart

This is a request for support and a save the date for the 2017 Pink Cup in Hobart, coming up on 8th October 2017.
This annual thoroughbred race day, turning ten this year, has a wonderful history as a successful grass roots community fundraising event, run entirely by volunteers, and is the largest charity race day held in Tasmania, having run in both Hobart and Launceston, with the cup race itself having been run across race tracks in Hobart, Launceston and Devonport.
In Australia, 44 women a day are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 140 men a year. There are nearly 60,000 people living with breast cancer in Australia today, with 8 women dying each day. The aspirational goal of the National Breast Cancer Foundation is to see this figure reduced to ZERO deaths from breast cancer by 2030. This can only be achieved through research, which costs money.
In the years since inception, this Tasmanian race day has raised over $234,000 net profit for the charity, which has enormous benefit to the research that the National Breast Cancer Foundation funds. Funds raised locally at this race day have assisted fund the Endowed Chairs program, ensuring two leading lights working on research into breast cancer can continue their vital ground breaking work, feeding into the global knowledge about breast cancer.
As well as raising much needed funds for a valued cause, the Pink Cup is also a fun and affordable event and brings together guests from within the state as well as from intrastate.
It would be wonderful to have your support in some way. I appreciate many firms cannot commit to the expense of race sponsorship, but there are other ways to align, and this gives plenty of notice to get a table of guests together to attend the event.
Alternatively, I look forward to discussing further the possibility of a donation of an item or exclusive experience to use for fundraising, or an in-kind sponsorship whereby a gratis filler ad or some other form of forward promotion for this popular race day via print media, online media or a newsletter might be possible, in return for acknowledgement as a supporter of the event and ultimately as a supporter of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Call the Tasmanian Racing Club on 03 6272 9492 to book, or email eventstas@gmail.com to sponsor a race, to donate an item, or discuss aligning.
I am always happy to discuss alignment opportunities further.
