Jockey club pretty in pink
THE Cairns Jockey Club is set to turn Ladbrokes Cannon Park pink this October, as the Powerhouse Property Pink Ribbon Race Day Luncheon returns on Sunday 12 October, raising much-needed funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
Hosted in the elegant President’s Lounge, the luncheon promises an afternoon of glamour, racing and community spirit, all for an important cause.
Guests will be welcomed with a drink on arrival before enjoying a spread of gourmet food stations, live entertainment and a lively race-day atmosphere.
Adding to the fun will be the always-popular best dressed competition, encouraging racegoers to showcase their finest pink-inspired looks in support of breast cancer research.
The event carries a serious purpose. For every ticket sold, $10 will be donated directly to NBCF, funding vital research in the fight against breast cancer and supporting the organisation’s vision of zero deaths from breast cancer.
“Breast cancer impacts so many families in our community, and events like this are a powerful way to come together, raise awareness and fund vital research,” said Kate Fern of Powerhouse Property Cairns.
“We are proud to stand alongside the Cairns Jockey Club and the National Breast Cancer Foundation to support this important cause,” she said.
Cairns Jockey Club general manager Cameron Riches echoed the sentiment, highlighting the importance of the day.
“The Pink Ribbon Race Day Luncheon is more than just a social event, it’s about uniting people behind a cause that affects so many,” he said.
“We’re proud to host this fundraiser and look forward to welcoming guests for a day that truly matters.”
Tickets are $75.50 per person plus booking fee and include access to the President’s Lounge, entertainment, food and a complete trackside race program.
Every ticket sold contributes directly to breast cancer research, ensuring attendees can enjoy one of the region’s most anticipated social race day events while making a difference.
The Powerhouse Property Pink Ribbon Race Day Luncheon is set to be a celebration of community, fashion and racing, all while supporting research that could save lives.
