Go The Pink Dog!


	'GO THE PINK DOG!!!' Every time the Pink Dog wins a Victorian and Tasmanian Greyhound race in February 2012, Greyhound Racing Victoria and Tasracing will donate $500 to the McGrath Foundation. There is a pink number 8 greyhound in every race, so it is hoped that over $65,000 will be raised for this tremendous cause. The McGrath Foundation raises money to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia, as well as increasing breast awareness in young Australian women. The campaign’s proud partners for 2012 are Sky Racing, Greyhound Racing Victoria [GRV], and Tasracing.

	*The McGrath Foundation* A story well known in Australia, Jane and Glenn McGrath’s much-publicised experience with breast cancer led to the formation of what has become one of Australia’s most respected and recognised charities, the McGrath Foundation. Because of their experience came the belief that every Australian family experiencing breast cancer should have access to the support of a breast care nurse shaping the McGrath Foundation’s mission to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and to increase breast awareness in young women. Today, the McGrath Foundation is considered to be one of Australia’s leading breast cancer support organisations, with over 10,000 Australian families supported by our 68 McGrath Breast Care Nurses nationally in the last three years.
