THE ARMOR ALL BATHURST 12 HOUR will once again support a great cause after today announcing the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia as the official charity for 2011.
The February 4-6 event will see competitors from around the world racing to support the charity that funds research into the cause, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
“We are very excited to again be involved with Yeehah Events and the Armor All Bathurst 12 Hour,” said Wendy Farrow, the New South Wales State Manager of the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
“The event is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness of prostate cancer, in particular the need for men to talk to their doctor about what they should be doing.
“We urge all men over 50, and men over 40 if they have a family history of prostate cancer, to talk to their doctor about a prostate cancer test.
“Men are good at putting their car in for a service but they just need to remember to check in with the doctor as well.
“We encourage people to check out our website, www.prostate.org.au, for more information.”
Last year the event, in conjunction with the Bathurst Regional Council, created a Guinness world record by laying more than 6,500 ties around the length of the 6.213km Mount Panorama circuit to raise awareness for the foundation.
Event Director James O’Brien said the Armor All Bathurst 12 Hour was pleased to once again be supporting this important cause.
“The Armor All Bathurst 12 Hour represents a fantastic platform to promote the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and we are pleased to support them once again,” he said.
“We are looking forward to promoting their message to the thousands of drivers, officials and fans who will be at the circuit for the Event, and the many more who will be tuning in online and via our ONE HD television coverage following the race.”
Vehicles from the Australian GT Championship will join with vehicles from the Australian Production Car Championship totalling 31 manufacturers eligible to compete in the around-the-clock Enduro at Mount Panorama on 4 to 6 February 2011.
