Racing to bring an MRI to RVAP

On Sunday August 15, 2010, Ajax Downs and the Quarter Racing Owners of Ontario teamed up to host a Free Family Fun Day at the Races. The event was funded entirely with corporate donations by themselves and event sponsors, to support our "Image is Everything" Campaign to bring an MRI to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital.

Over a thousand community members came out to enjoy the day at the races, many of whom were dressed in the bright MRI campaign colours of sky blue and lime green! Activities and food were free to children, who enjoyed an exciting day filled with such crowd-pleasers as face painting, and new experiences like the Try the Track Run.

Photos from the event can be viewed online on our Photo Gallery.
