The Chase is back on

GRV’s Chase for Charity is underway again in 2022 with three wonderful charities set to share in some serious fundraising dollars as part of SEN’s Off The Bench radio show on Saturday mornings.

Ronald McDonald House, Victorian Men’s Shed Association of Victoria and McAuley House are on board as Craig Hutchison (Hutchy), Liam Pickering (Pickers) and GRV each place a $500 bet on a greyhound every weekend during the AFL season, with all winnings to go to their respective charities.

GRV Chair Peita Duncan caught up with Pickers and Sam Hargreaves on SEN’s Off The Bench program this morning to officially welcome in this year’s charities.

“We get enormous satisfaction from being able to make a contribution to all of these outstanding charities. They do such amazing work and this is our way of being able to give back to what are really important services,” Ms Duncan said,

The Chase for Charity has raised more than $200,000 for various charity organisations in recent years.

Hear this morning’s interview with Peita Duncan below.
