SIR – Fancy a day at the races? Enjoy having lots of fun and great times with your friends and family? Then we could have a great big opportunity just for you.

We need enthusiastic, fun and chatty people to join us as volunteer MacDay Makers at Macmillan Cancer Support’s single largest fundraising event – Macmillan Charity Raceday. Taking place at York Racecourse on Saturday 13th June 2015, it promises to be a great day out and, as a MacDay Maker, you’ll be helping to raise thousands of pounds to support people affected by cancer.

Macmillan Charity Raceday is a unique and amazing fundraising collaboration between York Racecourse and Macmillan Cancer Support. The event has been held annually since 1971, raising more than £6.2 million in total for Macmillan and other good causes.

In 2014, Raceday raised £365,000 and was attended by more than 28,000 people. We expect 26-30,000 racegoers to attend this year’s event and enjoy the activities, such as raffles, prize draws and auctions, as well as an afternoon of top quality racing.
