Get Involved....A Race For A Cure

Bureau County Speedway (Princeton, Illinois) will be having a very special race this season.

This race is more than about winning a trophy and payout.........

This is a race to help find a cure for Breast Cancer.

50 to 75% of the profits from this race will be donated to this very worthy cause.

On June 27, 2008 Payouts will be doubled for all classes on this very special night.

Late Models will race for $1600 to win, Modifieds $800, B Mods and Street Stocks will race for $400 to win and the Hornets will be racing for $150 to win.

During this special race night, we will recognize and congratulate all that have survived this devastating disease, we will honor those that have passed because of it, we will offer hope  and encouragement to those currently fighting it and to bring awareness to the community.

This special night of racing involves more than 1 or 2 Sponsors, and we are still looking for Sponsors for this event. All Sponsors will be recognized on front stretch signs at the Speedway, yes ALL Sponsors, even if we have 200 Sponsors... they will be recognized.

All Fans, Drivers and Crews will be asked to sign in on this night, as each and everyone that attends this night will have their name sent in along with the donation to help find a cure for Breast Cancer.

Team Sixteen drivers Tony Izzo Jr and Shannon "Miss Excitement" McIntosh have committed to racing our Get Involved Race For a Cure. Team Sixteen has also decided to donate 10% of their payouts from the night back to this cause and have issued a challenge to all other Late Model drivers to do the same.  If all the Late Model Drivers rise to this challenge, an additional $825.00 would be donated to finding a cure for breast cancer.

Ladies,

I do appreciate your comments on this matter. I was unable to see the original comment by Pam on the board, so looked back into my email notifications:

"Rather than giving the money to any organization or society associated with cancer awareness, and those that walk, run or whatever , please consider giving the funds to this man. I'd hate to see all the money go to another useless cause" ) http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/an.

I have to give my painfully honest opinion on this, and I do apologize if I offend anyone........I must say, it concerns me deeply that anyone who is a registered user of this open forum at breastcancer.org  would consider breast cancer or the research for a cure a useless cause.....

Having said that...... Although their are worthy organizations that are dedicated to research for an overall cancer cure (and worthy as they may be), this race is a race to help raise funds to help in finding a cure for breast cancer..... the key word being "breast".... 

My intentions for posting the race on this particular forum were to inform anyone that may want to attend this different kind of "race" fundraising event... or even become a sponsor of the event...... just to inform.........
