Asidua sponsors MENCAP Race Evening

Friday, 20th June 2008

For the fourth consecutive year, Asidua is pleased to provide corporate sponsorship for the MENCAP Race Evening at the Down Royal Racecouse - Summer Festival 08. Last year, this charitable funding-raising event collected almost £60,000.

Asidua again sponsors the third race of the evening's programme, the Asidua Maiden Hurdle. Last year, jockey David Casey completed a double when he ruled "Eastern Canal" to victory in the Asidua Maiden Hurdle and was presented with a special City of Derry Crystal trophy by Asidua CEO Dr. Steve Brankin; Casey's earlier win had been gained on "Safari Run" in the opening Mares Novice Hurdle.

MENCAP offers information, support and a range of services for children and adults with a learning disability. They also campaign for choice, opportunity and respect for people with a learning disability and their families. Asidua wishes MENCAP every success with the Race Evening event.
