The inaugural Horses for Causes Charity Race Day will get off to a galloping good start at the prestigious Kenilworth Racecourse on Saturday, 16 January 2016. Combining the already-established Sceptre Stakes with two other feature races and six additional races, it’s set to be a fun family day jam-packed with adrenaline-inducing activities and plenty of important community upliftment opportunities. Best of all? Entry is free and gates open at 11h00!
Aside from thundering hooves and jovial jockeys, there’ll also be a marquee set up on the day, featuring the 16 charities benefitting from the event. Attendees will have the chance to chat to the NGOs to learn about what they do and to donate to them directly. This special day is all about bringing the community together so there’ll be plenty of live entertainment, including local choirs, bands, mini cricket, soccer and rugby games, fun races, food, beverages and more.
Guests are invited to book a VIP table to make a positive change whilst enjoying delectable cuisine and a first-rate view of the course. A 10-seater table in the Kenilworth VIP Function Room costs R6000 per table and includes a three-course buffet, whilst a 10-seater table in the stylish Peninsula VIP Function Room is R8000 per table, which includes the buffet and a view of the home straight. A charity auction of jewellery, holidays, sporting memorabilia and other surprises will be a splendid addition to the VIP experience, so be sure to bid generously.
Hosted by the Riverside Estate’s Education and Upliftment Trust, the Horses for Causes Race Day promises to be a fun occasion for families, friends and anyone looking to enjoy a bit of racing action whilst also making a difference to NGOs doing exceptional work in our pretty city.
