Allied Steelrode On A Mission is back again as sponsor of the prestigious Charity Mile
4Racing is delighted to confirm that leading global steel manufacturer Allied Steelrode On A Mission will again sponsor the annual Charity Mile at Johannesburg’s Turffontein Racecourse on Saturday, 29 October.
An important Grade 2 event, the Allied Steelrode On A Mission Charity Mile will be run over 1600 meters, and in addition to seeing Allied Steelrode again bolstering stakes, it will also benefit 16 Johannesburg charities this year.
The Allied Steelrode sponsorship ensures stakes of R800 000 for this prestigious race – with Allied Steelrode contributing R250 000 to the stakes in addition to 4Racing’s R550 000 contribution.
As part of its generous sponsorship, Allied Steelrode will also make a further R500 000 available to be shared in a pool by 16 deserving Johannesburg charities. The charities will once again draw a horse in the race and depending on the finishing position they will receive a cash donation.
This will range all the way from R200 000 for the charity whose horse wins the Allied Steelrode On A Mission Charity Mile and a minimum of no less than R20 000 for the charity whose horse finishes in the last position.
The Allied Steelrode On a Mission Charity Mile has a rich racing tradition, having previously been known as the November Handicap, but it also has a strong association with charity after it transformed into the Charity Mile and 4Racing is proud to continue this tradition with the valued support of Allied Steelrode On A Mission.
A highly competitive race card in the lead-up to the Summer Cup will be headed by the Allied Steelrode On A Mission Charity Mile and a number of other feature races on the day.
The sponsorship of this popular Spring feature event is extremely good news for owners, trainers, jockeys and grooms alike and is a positive boost for everybody in the sport.
It is also very good news for many charities in need in Johannesburg, among them the Highveld Horse Care Unit, The Hamlet School, Angels Baby Sanctuary, Soweto Equestrian Centre, and many charities doing extremely important work supporting vulnerable women and children in the community.
