The 65 Roses Campaign concludes this weekend with meetings at Cowra, Taree, Tweed Heads and Wentworth Park.
To date, there have been 77 red rug (number one) winners at designated 65 Roses Race Meetings across NSW and South Australia for this year’s Campaign.
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.
This year’s Campaign has raised almost $30,000 for Cystic Fibrosis, meaning $100,000 has been raised in the three years that the 65 Roses Campaign has been staged.
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.
