The Warrnambool Racing Club have today announced their Charity Partner Recipients, including their May Racing Carnival and Community Race Day partners.

The club was also thrilled to be able to offer nine local groups and organisations affected by COVID-19 with a $500 donation.

The Community Race Day Partner receives all gate taking and sponsorship profits which on average is $6,000, with Warrnambool and District Food Share announced as the partner for the event.

The May Carnival Partner collects the takings from the bus loop, which is generally in excess of $10,000, with the Let’s Talk Foundation announced as the major Partner.

"The Club is looking forward to working with the 11 organisations on rolling out this fantastic initiative" said WRC Operations Manager Kate Lindsey.

"It was a humbling experience hearing about the diverse range of organisations and their strong impact they all have on our community, and a great opportunity for peer to peer networking"

It opened our eyes to the wonderful things these organisations are doing with the young people in our community, and we feel very fortunate we were able to bring them together".

The club has also committed to continuing to roll this program out annually.
