Macmillan Cancer Support Evening

Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium
Saturday 4th July
I am pleased to announce that myself and Wimbledon stadium have come to an agreement on a date for this years benefit night in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, Macmillan nurses are invaluable to both Cancer sufferers and their families and virtually every household these days knows of someone that is effected by Cancer, now, more than ever, we need to support these nurses whos work sometimes go unnoticed but without them the patients and families would struggle.
Last years event at Hove was a huge success and raised £23,000 and a nights racing was had that was befitting of such wonderful people, lets see what we can achieve and remember that every little helps.
My aim is to have 11 Open races and 2 Graded stakes for the local racers, these would be lower graded fares thus giving these dogs the chance to strutt their stuff on the same stage as the bigger boys, this format was a raging success at Hove and had all the trainers and owners lavishing full praise.
Like last year, I am looking at £1,000 per race which would see a % go towards the Charity, this race sponsorship could be formed by more than 1 person, so PLEASE, if you would like to get involved, but you cannot afford the full amount, get in touch and we will work with you and your sponsorship, remember that there will be others like yourself that want to help and thus we can merge you all together.
We are also looking for individual Dog sponsors on the night, these are priced at £20 and all winning dog sponsors shall go into a draw for a fantastic prize that we shall announce very shortly.
We shall be holding an Auction live on the night with various items that are as yet unknown, these will initially be on offer online for people to bid on, last years auction was fantastic and I would strongly urge anyone visiting on the night to stay back for this as the Craic was unreal, should anyone like to donate anything for Auction then please contact myself.
I am awaiting a Package deal that will include admission and Meal in Restaraunt and once known I shall announce the details and how you can book it.
Many many thanks again for listening to me, I know for some it will be boring but I am determined to raise as much as I possibly can for people that in my eyes are Angels.
