65 Roses Campaign Hits Maitland

By GRNSW

Maitland will be cheering on the red dog this afternoon at their special 65 Roses meeting, as the Campaign heads to the Central Coast track.   

It will be a big weekend for the 65 Roses Campaign as well, with four tracks across NSW staging 65 Roses Race meetings.

ARMIDALECoonabarabran, Potts Park and Temora will all be cheering on the red dog at their tracks on Saturday afternoon. 

During the first week of the 65 Roses Campaign, there have been 21 red dog winners and over $5000 has being raised for Cystic Fibrosis so far.

All money raised from the 65 Roses Campaign goes to Cystic Fibrosis NSW and Cystic Fibrosis SA. To date, the 65 Roses Campaign has raised more than $70,000 for research and services.

As part of the Campaign, every time a greyhound wearing the red rug (number one) wins a race at a 65 Roses Race Meeting, Greyhound Racing NSW will donate $250 to Cystic Fibrosis. In South Australia, every time a greyhound wearing the red rug wins a race at Angle Park in May, Greyhound Racing SA will donate $250 as well to Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children. At present there is no cure, but organisations such as Cystic Fibrosis NSW and Cystic Fibrosis SA provide services and support to people who live with Cystic Fibrosis.
