Race for a Cause... A charity race with a twist!
You race for a bowling trophy.... prestige.... bragging rights.... but have you raced for charity?
This isnt your normal charity race. This is a unique charity race with a twist.
I proudly present, in association with West Coast R/C Raceway & Hobby Garage......
Race for a Cause
While some races donate "some" of their proceeds to charity, Race for a Cause will DONATE 100% of ALL ENTRY FEES to charity. But here's the twist......
The winner of each class will get a percentage of the entry fees for that class donated to the charity of their choice, under their name!
Lost? Follow my example here...
Let's say there are 100 people entered in the 13.5 class and you win the class in a dramatic last second, last corner pass for the win.
By finishing 1st, 60% of all 13.5 entry fees will be donated to the charity you have chosen. The donation will be made under your name. Let's say you picked Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, during the awards ceremony, a check will be made out to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles with a note on the check that says it was donated by you.
2nd place will get 30% donated to their charity of choice and 3rd place will receive 10% for their charity. Larger classes will extend charity donations up to 5th place. (1st - 60%, 2nd - 20%, 3rd - 10%, 4th - 7%, 5th - 3%)
Want more? As we speak, we are approaching manufacturers for raffle donations. The manufacturer's raffle will involve product donations from our industry's top companies. A participating driver can purchase a raffle ticket and be INSTANTLY entered in the raffle to win that manufacturer's prize. 100% of all raffle proceeds for each individual product will be donated to the manufacturer's charity of choice.
Race Information:
Classes: Mod, 13.5, 17.5, RCGT, Mini, possibly F1.
Location: The race will be held at the prestigious West Coast R/C Raceway & Hobby Garage. West Coast is California's, if not North America's premiere indoor on-road asphalt and off-road track. Come race the best indoor asphalt race track this side of the Pacific Ocean.
Rules: Coming Soon!
Date: Postponed until the re-opening of West Coast RC Raceway
Race Format: 3 qualifiers and a main
Entry Flier: Will be posted by Friday, August 14th.
Sponsors: Interested in donating prizes for the manufacturer's raffle? Email me at [email protected]

Sponsorship Opportunities: All sponsorships are donated to charity. That's right, 100%! There's also a manufacturer's raffle with proceeds from each raffle going to, guess..... charity! 100%! Contact me via email ([email protected]) for sponsorship opportunities.
Hotel Accomodations: Out of town travelers, we are working with Holiday Inn to receive a discounted rate. Please email me ([email protected]) if you are going to attend this race.
So race for prestige, race for bragging rights, race so you can talk trash online, but why not race for a cause? In our crappy economy where charities have seen significant declines in donations, why not race and donate at the same time? Everyone wins!
Be a part of this unique charity race that has never been done before!
