PEERMONT Emperors Palace Charity Mile (PEPCM) together with Racing, It’s a Rush will once again drive a charitable cause through the sport of horse racing. The race is one of the most poignant occasions on the racing calendar. The date set for this enthralling annual premier race is Saturday November 1.
Turffontein Racecourse will host the PEPCM raceday, which has grown to be a star-studded affair. The tenth edition of the PEPCM will see 16 of South Africa’s top celebrities heading to the South of Joburg to glam things up, all in the name of charity.
The 16 thoroughbreds will be picked at the Barrier Draw event held at Emperors Palace on October 22 to represent 16 charities. On Saturday November 1, the qualifying horses will race in the interest of charity and their finishing place will determine how much each charity takes home out of the allocated R550 000. Adding charm to the occasion is the element of each runner being publicly represented by a celebrity and a media partner.
To be part of the action, head down to Turffontein Racecourse, where you can catch a glimpse of your favourite local stars. Gates open at 11:00 and entry is free. A children’s play area and a live tribute show to the Bee Gees will be on offer throughout the day.
Don’t miss out! Book your table now, call Agnes on 011 681 1702.
