RWITC cares on the Indian Cancer Race Day: Big weekend for the RWITC
By Vivek Jain
 
The RWITC has shown its caring side on several days this season.  The Lions Club Day which raised crores for a range of good causes, on the heels of the very successful Rotary Day in November 2014, increasingly stamps us as “The Club with a heart.”   Once again, its long term association with The Indian Cancer Society (ICS) will be centre stage on the weekend with racing under lights.
 
The Indian Cancer Society, which supports cancer stricken patients, is RWITC’s longest social service partner, with The Race of Hope, so appropriately named, being run over the past many years.  This year the ICS will go one step higher in staging a two day carnival with food, stalls and entertainment.  In a concurrent CSR activity, we are also associating with The JJ School of Arts with an exhibition and sale of paintings by the students with prizes to be awarded by the Club which will be showcased over the two days.
 
The RWITC is perhaps the only Club in India that supports CSR in such a big way. The ICS, Lions, Rotary, Sahachari, The Red Cross, Sneha, Cherish Life Foundation , are just a few of our recent associations. To synergise racing with charity is a great innovation of the Club. We will soon launch Rwitc Cares,under a distinctive banner and logo , as a spin off of the Green Circle Foundation that was launched a few years back.  We hope to brand all our social service events under this platform.
 
We are privileged to give back to the city that has given us so much, and which will remain a cornerstone of our activities. It will be a big weekend for the RWITC with the Kingfisher Ultra Sundowner Challenge and Lynn Deas’ History of Racing: A Royal Legacy, a painstaking chronicle on the great sport in a superbly produced coffee table book, being launched in the paddock.
