Carmen Racing's Trophy Drive

[Tracy57]

Attention Friends and Family,

Over the past few weeks, we have been working a project that we hope will be ongoing. We will be conducting a “Trophy Drive” on Friday September 23rd at the Bath Farmers’ market, Saturday September 24th at the Season of Hope Benefit Breakfast in Bethlehem and on Sunday September 25th at Grandview Speedway. More drop-off locations are TBA.

Many People win trophies over the years and eventually, they collect dust and get thrown in the back of a closet or (worse yet) a landfill. Well, we are collecting them, cleaning them up, taking off the brass plates and buying (out of our own pockets) new plates that say “Way to Go!” on them. They will then be distributed to the Lehigh Valley Hospital’s Children’s Outpatient Cancer Center (Bethlehem, PA)- Hopefully over time, we will be adding more centers- awarded to kids battling cancer which will make their day a little brighter. Remember how proud you were when you got that trophy? Think of how a child would feel when they get one for THEIR accomplishments battling cancer. You get to de-clutter, recycle and put a smile on a child’s face.

Our goal is to collect 300 trophies- so far we have 33 of them.

We are also in the process of coordinating a few fun events at the hospital for these brave kids as well. We were thinking of a racing theme party where drivers can come in their suits and give out autographs, etc. Probably begining of the year. If you would like to help, either by trophy donation or manpower, let us know.

Don't forget about the Trophy Drive at the next race... Some have asked if we only take certain ones- the answer is NO- we will take any trophy. So far we have from racing, bowling, beauty pageants, soccer, baseball and the list is growing.
We are glad to report our first permanent drop off location- The Home News Office at 4685 Lehigh Drive in Walnutport during normal business hours.
