Club Menangle is turning pink throughout the month of May for a good cause. This will be the fourth year Club Menangle will participate in Pacing for Pink, the campaign to raise funds and awareness for the McGrath cancer care nurses.
In Australia, around 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. After 20 years of positive impact supporting people experiencing breast cancer, the McGrath Foundation are now taking their care to all cancers, ensuring that no one with cancer, misses out on care.
As part of Pacing for Pink drivers from all states will don the pink pants in support of the campaign for the whole of May.
“Pacing for Pink is delighted to have Club Menangle participating in the campaign again as they have been fantastic supporters over the years,’’ says Marg Watson, Pacing for Pink coordinator.
“It is wonderful to have both male and female drivers voluntarily wearing the pink pants throughout May, and they really wear them with pride.
“A number of the drivers have a connection or know of someone who has battled cancer, so it is lovely to see them supporting them by wearing the pink pants.”
Across their nine race meetings in May, Club Menangle will donate $200 for each win recorded by a driver in the Pink Pants, $200 for each female training win, and $200 for each win that is recorded by a horse carrying saddlecloth Number 8.
“We are very much looking forward to participating in the 2025 Pacing for Pink campaign, and hopefully we can continue to raise funds and awareness for the McGrath Foundation,’’ says Club Menangle chief executive officer Bruce Christison.
“Our local community are driving forces in supporting the campaign, and it is exciting to have Coutts Lawyers & Conveyancers join Club Menangle as the Pacing for Pink event partner for the next two years.
“Each year, we see the incredible work our participants and sponsors do in coming together to support these important causes just like Pacing for Pink.”
“On Saturday, 10 May, Club Menangle will host our iconic Coutts Pacing For Pink event, proudly supported by Coutts Lawyers & Conveyancers.
Luisa Gaetani, partner at Coutts Lawyers & Conveyancers (pictured above with Mr Christison), said the firm were proud to come on board for Pacing for Pink.
“We think that Pacing for Pink is such an important cause to support because it goes towards our core values of giving back to our community which we are very proud of being in the Macarthur region,’’ Ms Gaetani said.
