Queensland is Racing, Pacing & Chasing for Pink this September!
Get ready Queensland! This September, we’re racing, pacing, and chasing for a cause as the Pink Ribbon Raceweek returns for 2024
Following the success of the inaugural 2022 Pink Ribbon Raceweek, Racing Queensland is expanding this impactful initiative. In 2023, nearly $400,000 was raised through the efforts of the Gold Coast Turf Club, Sunshine Coast, The Creek, and Bris Greys Pink Ribbon Cup activities.
Now entering its 17th year, the Pink Ribbon Cup is Australia’s largest official community fundraiser for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Event Highlights

Fundraising Efforts
In 2024, fundraising will extend to all race meetings from September 15 to September 21. During these 30+ meetings, any horse, greyhound, or harness racer wearing #8 that wins a race will trigger a donation towards breast cancer research, supported by Racing Queensland and the hosting clubs.
Founded by Robyn Cameron, the Pink Ribbon Cup continues to be a major contributor to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, addressing the most common cancer in Australia. With more than 55 Australians diagnosed daily, and one in seven women facing breast cancer in their lifetime, the need for research is more pressing than ever.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation has set an ambitious goal: zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. Join us in the race to make this vision a reality.
We thanks the following clubs who are committed to helping support fundraising efforts this year:
- Brisbane Racing Club
- Ipswich Turf Club
- Townsville Greys
- Capalaba Greyhound Racing Club
