Miss America Works with NASCAR for Abused Children | Full ThrottleMiss America Works with NASCAR for Abused Children
Maureen MacDonald of Raleigh, N.C. was recently crowned Mrs. America 2009, and is putting that title to use in raising donations for the Prevent Child Abuse America charitable organization. In October, Mrs. MacDonald was given exclusive access by Speedway Children’s Charities to the NASCAR drivers at the Bank of America 500, held at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte, N.C.
She took with her a plain white helmet and a Sharpie marker, and was able to obtain the signatures of 42 NASCAR drivers and personalities. The now-covered helmet is being sold to the highest bidder via an online auction with all net proceeds benefiting the Prevent Child Abuse America cause.
“Mrs. MacDonald was able to get an impressive list of autographs,” said Russ Dickey, marketing director for GoMotorBids. “All the big drivers are on there: Dale Earnhardt Jr., 2008 Champion Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, plus other legendary names like Roger Penske and Bruton Smith. It’ll be the centerpiece of any racing collection for sure.” The auction closes on Sunday, December 14th.
