IARG/Project6 Racing Charity Fundraiser Program

Greetings to all of you sports car fans in cyberland...

The focus of my post today will be something very exciting that has recently come together for the 2010 season.  IARG/Project6 Racing has initiated a fund-raising campaign for the Indiana chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an international organization supporting advocacy, public outreach programs and research grants to find a cure for diabetes.  The goal of the our campaign is to generate donations to the JDRF through our racing program.  I am particularly excited about the opportunity to work with the JDRF this season as I believe that the race program will raise significant revenue for the foundation.

So now you might ask: how does the program work?  There are two methods by which an individual may donate to the JDRF.

1. Join the "Laps To Cure Diabetes" program.  The "Laps" sponsorship provides a 100% donation to the JDRF.  A per race lap donation is pledged by the sponsor.  The donation can be for a single race, race weekend, or the entire season.  Race formats are either 30 min (complete approximately 18-20 laps depending on the track) or 50 min (complete approximately 28-30 laps depending on the track), with no pit stops.  If you need to pit during a sprint race you are finished.  For the 2010 season IARG/Project6 Racing has one race weekend per month from April-Oct (total of 7 weekends).  Each weekend generally consists of 2-3 races, typically two 30 min and one 50 min sprint race.  Race results (including overall and class finishes, fastest lap, and number of laps completed) are published on Mylaps.com throughout the season.  I am personally participating in the "Laps" program and I hope that you consider sponsoring this program as well. 
2. The second method of sponsorship is to purchase a signature decal(s) on the race car (red and white squares on the hood below) and 20% of the proceeds will be donated to the JDRF.  Decals are $200 (US)/decal.  Your signature will be on a block on the car (if you can get to Indianapolis then you sign directly on the car, if not then a decal signature will be put on the car).  The support from your donation by purchasing a signature decal is that the sponsorship dollars will help the JDRF, and will help keep me racing.  The more race laps completed the more money will be generated by the "Laps To Cure Diabetes" program (more races = more laps = more $$$ for the JDRF!).  

 

If you would like to support the JDRF program please contact me and i will send you the forms for the sponsorship application.  Together we can really make a difference in the lives of children living with diabetes.

Until the next post.  

All the best...
