Weston Park Cancer Charity Race Evening 2025 brings total raised to over £300k

This year’s Weston Park Cancer Charity Race Evening has raised £34,000, bringing the event’s fundraising total to over £300,000.

The event, which is held at the iconic Doncaster Racecourse, saw Weston Park Cancer Charity supporters come together for a magical evening of racing and hospitality.

Sheffield Teaching Hospital staff, patients, and their families were invited to attend the event for free, with Doncaster Racecourse kindly providing hundreds of complimentary tickets.

Charity volunteers collected donations throughout the evening, and money was also raised through ticket sales, auctions, and a raffle.

The fantastic amount raised will help Weston Park Cancer Charity to fund ground-breaking research, treatment enhancements, and vital support services.

Rachael Thomas, Events Manager at Weston Park Cancer Charity said:

“The Doncaster Race Evening is always a highlight in our fundraising calendar, and this year’s event was no exception.

“We want to thank our racegoers, our wonderful sponsors, and Doncaster Racecourse for being brilliant hosts. This event is a true collaboration, and the money it’s raised will make a huge difference to people across our region who are living with cancer.”

Emily Lobley, Business Co-Ordinator at Doncaster Racecourse said:

“We’re overjoyed to have raised over £300k in total through our special partnership with Weston Park Cancer Charity.

“Cancer affects us all in one way or another, and we’re so lucky to live near one of only four specialist cancer hospitals in the UK. Anything we can do to support the work that takes place at Weston Park Cancer Centre is our privilege.”

Weston Park Cancer Charity provides practical, emotional, and financial assistance to people in our region who have been impacted by cancer.
