Enjoy a day at the Woodbine Race Track in support
of Best Buddies!
The Best Buddies homage to the Royal Ascot lets the ladies come out with their large and unique hats, and lets everyone enjoy the thrill of a day at the races.
Special musical guests, celebrities, emcees and guest jockeys make for an enjoyable luncheon celebration.
The 2010 Thrill of the Ascot will be Sunday, June 6th at the wonderful Woodbine Race Track.
The 2009 Thrill of the Ascot was a great success thanks to our organizers and guests. Mr. Ray Cowling was honoured with the Spirit of Friendship Award. More than 300 guests came out on the windy day, and helped Best Buddies raise more than $125,000.
In 2008, more than 230 guests came to enjoy the good food, good music and good company at the event, and nearly $125,000 was raised for the program. Television journalist and diplomat Pamela Wallin received the Spirit of Friendship Award in honour of her life-long work.
In 2007, the event paid tribute to the Honourable Lincoln M. Alexander for his life-long dedication to human rights.
In the presence of over 200 guests, Best Buddies Co-Chairs Penny Shore and Daniel Greenglass presented ‘The Linc’ with a lifetime achievement award. Approximately $100,000 was raised in one day, through this event.
