South Wagga Rotary will be firing up the BBQ on Saturday 18th October 2025 at the Can Assist race day.

The family-oriented race day will feature a kids' fun zone, charity barbecue, trackside family marquees, lawn games and more.

Keen racegoers won't miss the action from Royal Randwick with the Kosciuszko and Everest broadcast live from the big screen.

Can Assist has been providing accommodation, financial assistance and practical support to people from rural and regional areas in NSW since 1955.

It has almost 3000 volunteers across 55 branches in NSW, including Wagga's Lilier Lodge.

Can Assist executive director Emma Phillips said the event will raise crucial funds to support the organisation's work in Wagga and help cancer patients access treatment without the burden of financial stress.

"The heart of our mission is the management of Lilier Lodge. This welcoming and supportive accommodation facility is right here in Wagga Wagga. It provides a home away from home for patients and carers who must travel to access critical cancer treatment,"
