The Avoca Ancient Order of Hibernians will present a fun-filled Night at the Races at the West Side Social Club on Saturday night April 19 to support their annual scholarship fund. Each year several area students are awarded scholarships to assist them as they continue their education.
Horses can be purchased for $10.00 from any AOH member. Your $10.00 donation to the scholarship program allows you to name your horse, have your name appear in the official race program and gets you free admission to the races on the night of the event. Best of all if your horse wins the race you get $50.00.
Admission to the event for non-horse race sponsors is $5.00. Races can be sponsored for the low price of $50.00. AOH race sponsors will be acknowledged during the race announcements and will have their name/business prominently displayed in our official race program.
All race sponsors are admitted free of charge on the night of the event. The AOH encourages their sponsors to participate at the event, so everyone can see the supporters of the Avoca AOH Scholarship Program. If you would like to purchase a horse to support the scholarship program, please see any AOH member or mail your horses name and $10.00 payment to Avoca AOH, Night at the Races, P.O. Box 5045, Avoca, PA 18641.
Horses can also be purchased on Wednesday and Thursday Nights at the West Side Social Club.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. with 7:00 p.m. post time. Food and beverages will be provided.
