"The Wairarapa Development Group is delighted to support Doug's energy and enthusiasm for motor racing. He's taking on the world's most dangerous road track and that's no mean feat," he said.
"He's also taking a little part of the Wairarapa overseas, giving our region positive exposure and helping to put us on the map."
Mr Francis said a substantial amount of funds was necessary as Mr Fairbrother's support team from the Greytown Racing Team will accompany him and are also fundraising.
"This will go towards transportation and accommodation costs for Doug and the Greytown team, which includes his young apprentice Finn Harman. And what an opportunity for a young person, like Finn, to further his career in mechanics."
Mr Fairbrother has raced four times at the TT, with three completions, and at Monza in Italy, Paul Ricard in France, Assen in Holland and all over the UK. The charity lunch will be held on Sunday June 16.
