| Patrick Sheltra To Auction Off Pink Uniform
For Charity
WHITESVILLE, Kentucky (October 26, 2009) - - For the final
week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ARCA RE/MAX Series
(ARS) driver Patrick Sheltra will auction his Rockingham
Speedway race uniform with the proceeds being donated to
Kimmie Cares, Sheltra’s charity of choice for the
month of October.
The auction which ends on Wednesday, November 4 is live
on EBay and can be accessed through the team’s web
site at PatrickSheltra.com. The highest bidder will also
receive a 2009 autograph card endorsed by Sheltra.
The Kimmie cares doll, book, from The Partners For A Cure
Foundation address two critical and often overlooked issues
for women with cancer - helping moms explain the effects
of cancer to their small children, and helping both child
and adult share their fears and feelings so they can remain
close during this time of illness.
While many other organizations fund cancer research, donating
money for equipment, new medicines and scientists' salaries,
the The Partners For A Cure Foundation takes a somewhat
different approach. Proceeds generated from the sale of
the Kimmie Cares doll as well as donations collected through
other means are distributed not to scientists, but to individuals
with cancer. PFACF helps patients who are struggling financially
from the high costs of cancer treatment and related cancer
care expenses.
Earlier this month, Sheltra and his Whitesville, Kentucky
based team invaded Rockingham Speedway for the 2009 ARCA
season finale with a new look and new attitude. Armed with
a Toyota Camry and a camouflage pink machine the team had
hoped to back up their second place finish in April at the
one-mile oval but a mid-race incident relegated the team
to a disappointing finish. Still, Sheltra climbed from his
machine in his pink Buffalo Wings & Rings race uniform
proud of the team’s effort of spreading the word about
Breast Cancer.
“We promised we were going to auction off the suit
and that’s exactly what we are going to do,”
said Sheltra, a native of Indiantown, Florida. “We’ve
enjoyed spending the month of October doing everything in
power to bring attentiveness and recognition to Breast Cancer
Awareness. Hopefully the uniform will bring in lots of bidders
and a great monetary donation for Kimmie Cares.”
The Sheltra Motorsports team through its association with
TotalRaceBabe.com and Turn Two Marketing are also continuing
to sell the “Together We Can Make A Difference”
bracelets which create a slick appeal while raising awareness
to one of the world’s most deadliest forms of cancer.
Turn Two Marketing will sell the bracelets for $15.00 a
piece at the following souvenir trailers for the remainder
of the 2009 NASCAR season. The bracelets will be on display
and available for purchase through: 3M, Caterpillar (CAT),
Crown Royal, Ford, General Mills (Cheerios), Jack Daniels
and Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR).
The “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets
are also available through the team’s web site or
TotalRaceBabe.com through November 15.
