Another successful track side fundraiser, in the Day at the Races Fundraising program took place Sunday afternoon (July 10) at Clinto Raceway.
In addition to the 10-race card, race fans came out and supported Clinton Minor Baseball through the silent auction, 50/50 draw, raffle and BBQ. The handle on the days race card was just over $21,000
The local group of baseball enthusiasts was able to raise approx $5,900 to be used towards diamond upkeep at both the Clinton and Holmesville locations. 185 8-18 year old players are registered in both the soft and hardball programs in the 2016 season.
Each Sunday Clinton Raceway hosts a different group, club or organization looking to raise money. Remaining fundraisers include AAA Huron Perth Lakers, Huron Heat Girls Hockey Association, Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society, Perth Stratford Humane Society, The Sunshine Foundation and The Royal Canadian Legion.
Groups that are interested in the track side fundraising program for the 2017 program at Clinton Raceway are invited to contact Jessica Carnochan (jessicacarnochan@gmail.com) for applications and information.
