As is tradition, Victoria’s greyhound racing community continues to work together to raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
Every time a greyhound wearing the blue number four rug wins a race in Victoria during the month of March, $300 is being donated to the Good Friday Appeal, thanks to GRV, Victoria’s 13 race clubs and Sportsbet.
With 62 winners so far this month, that’s $18,600 raised!
Furthermore, the donation amount will double to $600 for every blue number four winner on Good Friday (March 29) – with Geelong, Horsham and Traralgon having the privilege of racing on that day.
Adding to the total, the greyhound community collectively raised $11,092.75 as part of 3AW’s Climb for the Kids at Eureka Tower in Melbourne on March 1 to kick off the month-long campaign.
That takes our overall fundraising tally over $29,600 after the first 14 days!
