🏁 LOCAL BUSINESSES – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT FOR 2027! 🏁
🤝 SPONSORSHIP & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Cairns RC Model Car Club is looking for local businesses willing to get behind our club as we prepare for a BIG 2027 racing season!
We're a volunteer-run club with two racing facilities in Cairns, catering for everyone from young beginners and families through to experienced RC racers.
After a massive effort from our volunteers and local businesses to rebuild our off-road track, we're now looking to take both facilities to the next level! 💪
🔧 WHAT ARE WE WORKING TOWARDS?
🏎️ ON-ROAD FACILITY – MANUNDA
Complete track resurfacing
New track layout and kerbing
Track lighting upgrades
Power reconnection
General facility improvements
🏎️ OFF-ROAD FACILITY – GORDONVALE
Track lighting
Sunshades and covered areas
Spectator seating
Further improvements to our newly rebuilt track and facilities
🤝 HOW CAN YOUR BUSINESS HELP?
We're not just looking for financial sponsorship! We'd love to hear from businesses that may be able to assist with:
✅ Machinery, equipment or operator time
✅ Earthworks, concreting or resurfacing
✅ Electrical work, lighting or materials
✅ Building supplies, shade structures or seating
✅ Financial sponsorship or donations
✅ Any other products, services or support you may be able to offer!
Whether you'd like to support our on-road facility, off-road facility or BOTH, every bit of support makes a difference!
❤️ WHY SUPPORT OUR CLUB?
We're a not-for-profit, volunteer-run club passionate about giving kids, families and adults a place to enjoy RC motorsport, learn new skills, make friends and get involved in a great local community.
Our members put countless hours into maintaining and improving our facilities, but we can't achieve everything on volunteer labour alone.
We're keen to build strong relationships with local businesses and recognise those who help make our club what it is.
📩 INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED?
Please send our page a message or comment below and we'll be in touch to discuss how your business can get involved for the 2027 season.
🙏 Even if you can't sponsor, sharing this post could help us reach a local business that can!
Let's work together to build two fantastic RC racing facilities for Cairns and the wider FNQ community! 🏁
