ATC AND THE SPORTING CHANCE CANCER FOUNDATION TEAM UP AT ROYAL RANDWICK
21 May, 2025
The Australian Turf Club joins with long-standing charity partner Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation at Royal Randwick on Saturday in support of outreach nurses helping young cancer patients.
The ten-race card includes races sponsored by supporters of Sporting Chance’s Outreach Programs for kids with cancer and their families at Randwick’s Sydney Children’s Hospital.
Saturday is the 18th anniversary of the Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation Day with 400 guests in the Royal Randwick Ballroom raising funds and awareness.
It will add to the more than $15 million raised for nurses to help children with cancer to remain at home for as long as possible whilst still undergoing treatment.
After providing funds to Westmead Children’s Hospital for 15 years, SCCF has branched out to Randwick Sydney Children’s Hospital for the James Tedesco Outreach Program.
Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation was started in 1998 by former Australian Cricket Captain Mark Taylor, rugby league legend the late Reg Gasnier, Olympian Raelene Boyle and triple AFL Brownlow Medalist Bob Skilton.
The Foundation’s Jack Hughes said: “In 2023/2024 the outreach program has provided care for 974 kids with cancer across regional NSW by implementing specialised paediatric oncology care, addressing critical gaps in service delivery.
“Fundraising at our annual Royal Randwick raceday provides vital support for our outreach nurses”

Winter Long Lunch packages hosted in the Chairman’s Club at Royal Randwick and future meetings at Rosehill Gardens in the Winning Post restaurant are available at theraces.com.au
