PACING for Pink campaign is an annual Australian harness racing initiative held throughout May to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation to support breast care nurses. Drivers wear pink pants, and clubs host dedicated race meetings to raise awareness and funds.
St Augustines College Kyabram student Emma Thomson, aged 13, will wear pink pants as a Pony Trot Driver when Shepparton Harness Racing Club holds its Pacing for Pink race day, known as Pink Day, on Sunday, May 3.
Emma has been racing for 3 years and will be sponsored by Challenger Valves and Actuators, said she is proud to Drive for such a good cause.
“Pink day is such a great day to be part of. All of us (the Pony Trots participants) look forward to competing each year. It’s one race that everyone wants to win! And it’s a cause that is close to our family,” said Emma.
Pink Day is a fun filled event the whole family can enjoy with numerous fund raisers running on this day including the silent auction, raffles & activities for the kids.
Shepparton Harness Racing Club is located at 7580 Goulburn Valley Hwy, Kialla. For more information, call Marg Watson on 0409 401 189, and follow Pacing for Pink on Facebook.
