KARTERS WHO CARE -  IKF REGION 7 RAISES MONEY FOR KATRINA VICTIMS

Rosamond, California — A Hurricane Relief Fund was founded at the IKF Region 7 Southwestern Super Series event held at Willow Springs Kart Track in Rosamond, CA this past weekend.

Supported by the members of the IKF Region 7 Sprint division and their families, a total of  $4,276.50 was collected to assist those in need after their encounter with Hurricane Kartina and is being donated to the American Red Cross Hurricane Relief fun in the name of the IKF Region 7 Southwestern Super Series.

The fundraising efforts began with a collection effort moving from pit to pit and race team to race team efforts brought in nearly $1,500.00. Two young girls then set up a table in the pits and prepared snow cones for those that contributed to the relief effort. Additionally, matching funds were donated by Luis Martinez from Martinez Racing/ Position One motorsports and  Raul Martinez of Martinez Racing/ King Taco. At the end of the fundraising efforts, a bonus donation of $500.00 was given by the members of Miinch Motorsports

The drivers, crews, volunteers and supporters challenge other karting events and series to start their own fundraising efforts and hope you can match or even beat the total raised at this event.
