Race for a Cure hits Bathurst 6 Hour

Race car drivers Ben and Michael Kavich are giving Aussies the chance to win advertising space on their entrant into this year’s Hi-Tec Oils Bathurst 6 Hour on April 2-4 – and they’re raising money for Breast Cancer Trials at the same time. 

Asking for donations to support the life-saving clinical trials research program, the Kavich brothers will race their pink-liveried Race for a Cure Mitsubishi Evo X at this year’s Bathurst 6 Hour, with all those who donate going into the draw to have their name or business advertised on the car for the event.

The advertising space is valued at $3000, with the winner able to nominate a family name or the name of a loved one touched by breast cancer.

The Kavich brothers have already raised more than $80,000 to support Breast Cancer Trials since they started Race for a Cure in 2017, after Ben’s wife Toula was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer in 2016.

The brothers’ mother and grandmother have also battled the disease. 

Ben and Michael said they wanted to use their passion for motorsport to help spare as many Australian families as possible from the heartache and loss caused by breast cancer.

Their car will also feature a splash of yellow to mark the team’s long-standing relationship with Yellow (Sensis), which has signed on as the official marketing sponsor for Race for a Cure 2021.

“The exciting partnership gives us the opportunity to support a cause that impact so many women in Australia and the world,” said Yellow (Sensis) boss John Allan.

Racing with Team GWR Australia, the Race for a Cure Evo will compete alongside the team’s Mercedes-AMG A 45 race cars.
