On Track - Spring 2019

12 There is always plenty happening at the Moonee Valley Racing Club and we are excited to continually be engaging with our members and the local community through many events and initiatives that are driving positive outcomes. The Club was thrilled to be able to donate over $188,076 to many charitable organisations throughout 2018/19, many of which are based in our local area. This is something our members can be extremely proud of being part of and knowing their membership offers more than just racing. AROUND THE VALLEY COMMUNITY UPDATE MVRC ANNOUNCES COX PLATE CARNIVAL PIN CHARITY PARTNERSHIP The MVRC is delighted to announce that it will partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities Victoria & Tasmania in raising much needed funds through the sale of our 2019 Cox Plate Carnival Charity Pins.
