Toowoomba Hospice has sold over 150 tickets for next month’s Race Day at Clifford Park!
Chairman of the Toowoomba Hospice Association Mr Graham Barron OAM said he was happy with the response so far to the 8th Annual Race Day, commenting “We hope to sell another 100 – 150 tickets to make it a successful day”.
This is one of the Hospices’ major fundraising/social events and will raise money to be used to assist the daily operations of this important community facility providing free palliative and respite care for adults of all ages.
Mr. Barron said the Hospice’s Mission is to provide professional palliative care; based on mutual respect and trust and the needs for those who come to us and their families.
Tickets can be purchased from the Toowoomba Hospice in O’Quinn Street, by telephoning during normal Business hours on 07 4659 8500 or emailing: admin.toowoombahospice@bigpond.com.
Ticket price is $65.00 per head and includes your entry to the races, a complimentary drink and nibbles upon arrival, special smorgasbord dinner, prizes for the best dressed female, male and best hat and a silent auction to top off a wonderful day at the races.
Finally, Mr. Barron wanted to reassure all those who donate money to the hospice; that it stays here. “The Hospice is a Local Charity and I am very proud to say that the money raised locally stays locally to support local businesses, companies and individuals on the Downs”.
