volksdragon(I'm totally recycling my post from last year to post again for this year, because while the date has changed, the event is the same.)
I'm participating in a charity race in a few weeks, an event called the Race Against Leukemia (RAL). Sponsored by the New England Region (NER) of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), the RAL weekend seeks to generate funds for the UMass Medical Center Hospital Leukemia Foundation. This is an event with a more than 20-year history, illustrating how dedicated NER is to giving something back to the community.
So how does it work, and what can you do? Drivers (that's me) collect donations or pledges, and for every $10 of donations I gather, I get one free lap of the course we set up to run on (One "Run"). I can also spend my "Runs" on giving free rides to other drivers.
There are no prizes for winning. This is just a fun race solely for generating donations for the UMass Medical Center. We're racing for fun, and for the RAL itself!

http://www.ner.org/region/forms/RECEIPT2007.pdf <-Receipt Form for filling out if you want a tax deduction.
As this is a charity, this is tax deductible, and I can send you a receipt (via signed PDF)
I will be setting this as comments screened, so no one feels like they're being watched on how much they're giving. Please respond here with how much you wish to contribute. I will be accepting donations up until I leave for the event on August 23rd. Thanks in advance for your support.
