Patriots/Sox Tickets to Benefit Ricky’s Race
for Kids at Canaan:
Canaan, N.H. -- With the 3rd annual Ricky’s Race for Kids to benefit
David’s House happening next month, those responsible for the event,
in honor of the late Ricky Miller, are hard at work preparing for
the annual fundraiser.
A racing accident left Miller with a severe concussion which
ultimately led to his passing in 2004, at the age of 34.
Miller’s father, retired New England racing great, Donnie, “The
Golden Jet” Miller, said, “ Losing a child is life’s ultimate
tragedy, but having this racing event each year, raising money for
David’s House, with 100% of the money raised going to such a
worthwhile cause, puts a positive aspect on such a tragic event for
our family.”
David's House, located in Lebanon, NH., provides a
home-away-from-home and support for families with children receiving
treatment through Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical
Center in Lebanon.
Last year, the Miller family presented David’s House a check for
$10,012, and this year the family hopes to do the same, if not
better.
This year’s event will feature a spectacular raffle including ticket
packages to New England Patriots, and Boston Red Sox games, and New
Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The first prize will feature four 50 yard line seats to the Patriots
vs. Indianapolis Colts game, November 21, at Foxboro, MA. The
package will include VIP parking and pre-game party, a buffet, and
an opportunity to meet Patriots cheerleaders. Second prize will be
four box seats to a Red Sox vs. New York Yankees game at Fenway
Park, Boston, MA., and third prize, four tickets to the Sylvania 300
at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Loudon, NH., September 20.
Something new this year will be Ricky’s Raffle for the Racers! First
Prize - Set of 4 MRS Hoosier Tires donated by Hoosier Tire East, 2nd
Prize - 55 Gallon Drum of Sunoco Race Fuel donated by Sunoco.
$1,000 cash drawing will be given away to some lucky fan by the
Miller family on race day as part of the fundraiser.
On July 23, a pre-race party will be held at Gateway Motors, White
River Junction, VT.,
including ticket giveaways, race cars and antique cars on display,
and a live broadcast from 4-7 PM on radio station, KIXX-FM 100.5.
The special 112 lap race at Canaan marks the return of the Modified
Racing Series, sponsored by
BobValentiAutoMall.com , to the Upper
Valley speedway. The series last appeared there in 2007. |
