Wednesday, May. 14, 2008
Phones will be ringing off the hook on May 16-17 when The NASCAR Foundation partners with Sirius Satellite Radio, NASCAR.COM and SPEED Channel once again to host the NASCAR Day Telethon. Fans of Ryan Newman—driver of the Penske Racing #12 Alltel Dodge in the Sprint Cup Series--can call into the telethon to make a donation and designate it to the Ryan Newman Foundation.
By calling 1-888-May16TH (1-888-629-1684), fans will be helping the more than 30 driver, team and track charities that the Foundation supports year round. Fans also have the ability to designate their entire donation to one of the charities under The NASCAR Foundation Family of Charity umbrella—like the Ryan Newman Foundation. Phone lines will be open through May 19.
Donors who designate their NASCAR Day telethon charitable gift to the Ryan Newman Foundation will receive a special thank you gift for donations at a variety of gift levels. At the $100 gift level, donors will receive an exclusive tee-shirt from The NASCAR Foundation. At the $250 gift level, donors will receive a gift pin set and Sam Bass print. At the $500 gift level, donors will receive an autographed Ryan Newman hero card, a Racing For Wildlife ball cap autographed by Ryan Newman, and a 1:64 scale Alltel die-cast car autographed by Ryan Newman thanks to a generous donation from Alltel Wireless. (Items will be shipped directly to donors by The NASCAR Foundation.)
Thanks to The NASCAR Foundation and a slew of NASCAR's media partners including SIRIUS Satellite Radio, SPEED, NASCAR.COM and MRN, fans will have a chance on May 16-17 to speak with their favorite drivers, celebrate NASCAR Day and make a donation to a charitable cause of their choice, as the Foundation has brought together an impressive list of Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Craftsman Truck series drivers to help answer phones as part of the Telethon event at the Sam Bass Gallery in Concord, N.C., on Friday and the Sprint Experience at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Saturday. Newman will be in the studio from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM on Friday, May 16.
