10th Annual Race for the Cure: Motocross Event Supporting Breast Cancer Research
The 10th annual motocross race, known as the "Race for the Cure," is scheduled to take place at Eugene MX Park this Sunday. The event aims to raise funds for various breast cancer research organizations. Last year's race raised $120,000, and this year's event promises to be just as exciting with raffles, auctions, and a potluck for attendees to enjoy.
Co-owner and operator of the Race for the Cure, Skeet Hise, described the event as a fun-filled day where everyone shows their support by wearing pink. The event offers free camping, with gates opening on Saturday at 9 a.m. and closing on Monday at noon. There is a $10 per person gate fee, and motocross racers will need to pay an entry fee to participate in the races.
The idea for the Race for the Cure originated when Hise and his team planned a trip to a famous track in New York to celebrate his 60th birthday. However, they decided to combine their passion for motocross with a meaningful cause and chose to support breast cancer research. This decision led to the creation of the annual event that has been going strong for a decade.
The community is invited to join in the activities and show their support for breast cancer research at the 10th annual Race for the Cure. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a day of motocross racing while contributing to a worthy cause. Don't miss out on this chance to make a difference and have a great time with fellow motocross enthusiasts.
In conclusion, the Race for the Cure is a fantastic event that combines the thrill of motocross racing with the opportunity to support breast cancer research. With exciting races, raffles, auctions, and a potluck, attendees are sure to have a memorable experience while contributing to a meaningful cause. Join the community this Sunday at Eugene MX Park for a day of fun and fundraising for breast cancer research.
