This Easter weekend, Team Thryv |Race For A Cure will return to Mount Panorama with fresh fire in the tank, bringing its 2026 Bathurst campaign to life with Thryv® (NASDAQ: THRY) and putting fundraising firmly in the driver’s seat.

The partnership will hit the track at the Bathurst 6 Hour from 3 to 5 April, where Team Thryv | Race For A Cure’s race-prepared BMW M2, car number 92, will take to the circuit in its signature orange livery. Supercars star Thomas Randle will lead the driver line-up alongside Ben and Michael Kavich. It marks a high-profile moment for fundraising and awareness, helping drive support for Breast Cancer Trials while carrying one family’s deeply personal mission onto one of Australian motorsport’s biggest stages.

Race For A Cure was born from lived experience. After Toula Kavich was diagnosed with breast cancer following the inaugural Bathurst 6 Hour in 2016, the Kavich family made a choice that would reshape their involvement in the sport. Ben and Michael Kavich turned their passion for racing into a platform for purpose, building a fundraising movement that has already raised more than $266,000 for Breast Cancer Trials.

Having also faced cancer himself, Thomas brings both elite racing credentials and lived understanding to the Race For A Cure mission, making his involvement especially meaningful on one of Australian motorsport’s biggest stages.

Now, with Thryv again backing the team, the 2026 Bathurst effort is aiming to go further, raise more and bring even more people behind the cause.

Team Thryv | Race For A Cure, Driver, Ben Kavich, said, “Race For A Cure has always come from the heart. What started as something deeply personal for our family has grown into a platform that lets us give back in a meaningful way and keep pushing for better outcomes for others facing breast cancer.”

“The Bathurst 6 Hour is one of the biggest stages in Australian motorsport and an amazing opportunity to shine a light on this very important cause, rally support and keep building momentum.

“There is a real connection between racing and small business. In both, you need determination, resilience and people around you who believe in what you are doing. That is why this partnership feels so genuine. We are proud to have Thryv alongside us again.

“We are also excited about what is ahead with Thryv, with some significant announcements to come in the months ahead, so stay tuned!” said Ben.
