About Mission Hospice Society

The society has been providing compassionate care and support to the dying and bereaved since its founding in 1985. Fundraising is very important to the society because it provides its services free of charge.

There will be a variety of fun charity activities during both days including hot laps in exotic sports cars for a donation to the Mission Hospice Society.

All you have to do is purchase your ride tickets to enjoy a few laps around the track and get to meet our local race drivers.
