For the past seven years, the AHA Newcastle Hunter Charity Race Day has been a staple on the local hospitality industry’s social calendar, raising more than $600,000 for Variety- the Children’s Charity and other charities.
This year, a new partnership with financial services firm Pitcher Partners will see the event into its eighth year, once again raising money for Variety and its annual NSW Variety Bash event and other worthy causes.
“Supporting charity organisations has always been important for us, and the Variety Bash in particular is a great fit for our industry,” AHA Newcastle Hunter President Mick Starkey said.
“Over the years many of our hoteliers and industry associates have taken part in the event, which sees participants travel to schools in regional NSW providing vital funding and support. As an industry, we’re all about supporting local communities so it makes sense for us to get involved.
“Welcoming Pitcher Partners on board as the major sponsor of the race day means we can continue raising money for this great cause and we couldn’t be happier to have them involved.”

“Being able to support the AHA Newcastle Hunter Charity Race Day, which then, in turn, supports kids in rural NSW who are living with a disability or financial hardship is something we are extremely proud to do.”
