The Right Mate Race Day is an annual event at the Geelong Racing Club, combining the excitement of horse racing with a strong commitment to men's mental health and community connection. Traditionally held in June, this event serves as the major fundraiser for Right Mate, a 100% volunteer-run, Geelong-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting social connection as a proactive approach to mental well-being.
Attendees can look forward to a dynamic day featuring thrilling races, a two-course sit-down lunch, live auctions, raffles, and keynote speakers who share insights on mental health and the importance of community support. The funds raised from this event enable Right Mate to continue their invaluable work, including subsidizing events and supporting individuals within the community. Whether you're a racing enthusiast or someone passionate about supporting mental health initiatives, the Right Mate Race Day offers a unique blend of entertainment and philanthropy, making it a standout event on Geelong's social calendar.
