Well, with just over a month away from our first event (:eek:) I am having a bit of difficulty finding a charitable sponsor for the first race!
We will be collecting Pet Food and Supplies later on in the season once again....
We will be raising money for the American Cancer Society, via Relay for Life...
We will be collecting Winter Coats to be donated to local families in the Tri-state area...
We will be collecting toys for Toys-4-Tots once again too!!!
But what can we do for the first event????
I am in the process of setting up a canned food drive with a local radio station to be able to collect throughout the season and donate it all at once...however, it is slow moving...
The motto is if you donate it we will give it away! But, we can't collect everything!!! We need to find local charities!
If you know of a local charity, and would like to get them involved with NEETS, please forward me their contact information. Please email it to me, joe@neetsracing.com
Charity qualifications:
- Does not have to be registered 501(c)3, so long as the contributions are not monetary.
- NEETS focuses on local charities that feel an immediate impact from donations.
- We tend to want to stray away from collecting money at each and every event, hence the clothing, food, pet food and toy drives, etc...
- Charitable organization does not have to be collecting something.... i.e. Checkered Dreams, Special Olympics, etc... <-(Waiting for some info Big Daddy!)
- Donations can be monetary, physical items or even services provided... i.e. volunteering time to help the needy.
It doesn't take much to help out a lot! Just forward me some info and we will get the ball rolling. If you are unsure about how we can help or get involved, don't hesitate to ask...the possibilities are endless!
All I ask is that the requests are serious! I understand that the economy isn't the greatest right now, but please don't send me a request to start a "Critter Racing Fund".....especially if you are Critter! .....thanks for being my example Critter! ;)

I prefer email so that it is in writing and the details are clear.
