Elliott Sadler and Stanley Tools are adding an element to their support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Susan G. Komen for the Cure following this weekend’s Bank of America 500.
Sadler, who is running a pink paint scheme and wearing a pink firesuit for Saturday's Bank of America 500 in Charlotte, N.C., is placing two auction packages on www.SadlerFoundation.org to raise additional funds for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
“Most race fans know supporting breast cancer awareness is very important to me and my family,” said Sadler, in a news release. “Last year my mother, Bell, was diagnosed with breast cancer and so far she's been able to beat it. The folks at Susan G. Komen reached out to us exactly one year ago so for us to be able to run this special paint scheme and offer race fans one of a kind memorabilia supporting breast cancer awareness month is a great way to give back.
"Stanley really stepped up to make this program a success and when this weekend is over race fans will have a chance to own the pink wheels from our No. 19 car and the pink firesuit I'm wearing this weekend at Charlotte.”
One of the auctions will contain one full set of pink wheels, each autographed by Sadler. The wheels will be on the car for prerace and through the first pit stop of the Bank of America 500. An autographed 8-by-10 inch photograph of the pink No. 19 Stanley Dodge on the race track and a certificate of authenticity from Gillett Evernham Motorsports are included in the package. The second auction package contains the autographed race worn pink firesuit, pink Puma shoes and a pink Stanley pit cap.
The auctions will kickoff at 3 p.m. EDT Saturday and will conclude at 8 p.m. Oct. 19.
In addition to Stanley Tools original $100,000 donation, the company has agreed to match the totals from each auction package to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. All proceeds from the auctions will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
