The Pink Ribbon Day Greyhound Race Meeting, organised by Central Coast trainer, Ms Raelee Shearer, raised $11,740 at Gosford Greyhound Race Club on September 22.
Winner of the feature event on the night, Pink Ribbon Day Stake 2015 was “All A Miss” trained by Mr Frank Cini and owned by Mr John McJanet.
Mr Cini accepted the presentation rug donated by Cessnock GBOTA Branch Secretary, Ms Margaret Dunn and the trophy donated by Aah Wow Trophies. Ms Shearer, being a survivor of breast cancer herself, knows how important ongoing research and the invaluable work done by volunteers is, and hopefully their combined efforts will provide more opportunities for finding a cure.
Ms Shearer would like to thank the club, sponsors and prize givers that provided items which were all auctioned prior to the event.
Ms Shearer also wanted to give a special mention to Ms Vera Matic and Mr Branko Lezaja for the generous donation of a Cape Hawke x Midori Mai Tai pup which was auctioned successfully at a picket fence price of $1,111.
The pup’s new owner has pledged to donate 10 per cent of the prizemoney to Cancer Council NSW once the pup starts racing and Mr and Mrs Dave and Linda Brown of Black Hill Kennels, have kindly agreed to rear the pup and donate the rearing costs to Cancer Council NSW.
Ms Shearer said the funds raised will help the countless women affected by breast and gynecological cancers. “Every dollar raised is funding vital research, prevention programs and support services for women,” Ms Shearer said.
