Event recap

A Day at the Races, a Difference for Kids

HCRF was proud to attend the AHA Newcastle Pitcher Partners Race Day at Newcastle Racecourse — a wonderful afternoon that brought the best of the Hunter's hospitality industry together for a great cause.

The day raised an incredible $93,000, shared between three children's charities: Variety – the Children's Charity NSW & ACT, Hunter Children's Research Foundation, and RUN DIPG. It's a remarkable result and a testament to the generosity of everyone who attended and supported the event.

We're grateful to have been welcomed into such a community-minded event, and to know that the funds raised will go directly toward life-changing children's health research right here in the Hunter region.Thank you to everyone who played a part in making the day such a success.

Events like this are a reminder of just how much our community can achieve when it comes together — and every dollar brings us one step closer to real breakthroughs for kids and families.
