This year the gala dinner is supporting the KARI Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting and empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to access the resources, support and opportunities to help reach their full potential. The foundation provides a range of services and programs that are designed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by Indigenous communities.

The KARI Foundation has also worked with the racing industry to place numerous young Aboriginal people in employment in training stables and is always looking for partnership opportunities that will benefit the community.

Fund raising on the evening is via the auction of some top-class items donated specifically for the event.

Tickets at $295 per person will be available in July.  For further information, please call Jane Henning on 0421 353 871, email owners@nswroa.com.au or go to the NSW Racehorse Owners Association’s website, www.nswroa.com.au.
