Goodguys Rod and Custom Association join with the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer to impact the lives of children with cancer.


 This partnership will provide the Austin Hatcher Foundation with opportunities to educate both children and adults about healthy lifestyles that prevent cancer, as well as provide much-needed therapies, in a variety of cities throughout the United States as well as raising funds and awareness for the Foundation’s mission to erase the effects of pediatric cancer for patients, survivors and their families.

The Foundation provides services to children with cancer, as well as their families, through its cancer care center, Hatch’s House of Hope at no cost to the families. Services are funded solely by the generous donations of supporters.

Goodguys will work with the Foundation at several shows during 2015 by creating awareness for Goodguys members and show attendees by participating in the “AutoCross for Kids”, as well as through volunteering for some of the program’s initiatives.

On Fridays and Sundays car show attendees can make a donation to the Austin Hatcher Foundation and get a ride with Pro Auto Cross competitors on a specially-prepared closed performance Auto Cross course.

During each event weekend, the Foundation also will partner with a local hospital to bring its innovative Diversionary Therapy program to children and families in the pediatric oncology units.... like when Brianne Hager of B's Sweets donated a special cake decorating teaching session with one of the patients at Hatch's House of Hope!


But back to the cars:
The program is designed to help patients, survivors and their families, enjoy leisure time by building and racing the Foundation’s pinewood derby cars, in the process offering a simple but effective diversion from the challenges presented by pediatric cancer. Goodguys will enhance the program by inviting members of the local hot rod community to participate and display collectible cars.


The partnership will kick off at the Goodguys 1st North Carolina Nationals on April 17-19 at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C. Attendees should check the event schedule for special activities and times of the AutoCross for Kids.

 More information can be found at https://www.good-guys.com/?p=9173&option=com_wordpress&Itemid=1567 and on the AutoCross for Kids landing page at www.hatcherfoundation.org/autocross  and https://www.facebook.com/AustinHatcherFoundation

Or maybe you're going on the Hot Rod Power Tour? Like the Valkyrie Road Warriors, who are raising money while on Power Tour by accepting passengers in exchange for donations to the Austin Hatcher Foundation http://www.hatcherfoundation.org/roadwarriors/

Or you might consider donating a car to the Austin Hatcher Foundation Garage,


 like Dan Gurney and (Galpin Auto Sports) Steve Carpenter did, and these two cars raised $330,000

This year the Grand National Roadster Show's pinstriper event and charity auction will again be raising money for the Gavin R. Stevens Foundation.


Thanks to the selfless efforts of Artie Schilling and his stripers and the gracious contributions from show attendees, the last time we partnered with this amazing organization we were able to raise more from than $110,000.

The Gavin R. Stevens Foundation mission is to raise awareness and increase funding for research that will lead to treatments, and hopefully a cure for Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), a genetic disease that causes blindness at birth.

In other news... the beer company that donates its profits to charity, and invented the Reverse Truck, is creating a dark extra stout

I've never bothered you with Kickstarter campaigns, there are so many, and it seems an odd way to raise money... but a company that gives all its profits to, and collects food for, soup kitchens - gets my respect and what free publicity I can put up for them in hopes that their business is a success, and that they may do lots of good, and inspire others, as I suspect Paul Newman inspired them, to donate profits to charity.


" in the process of creating our limited release Extra Stout for an October 1st release date. We’ve been working with Guinness-trained brewmaster Damian McConn, who is currently the head brewer at Summit Brewing Company in Saint Paul, MN. A fine Irish chap who knows his way around a proper Stout."

Because we give back to the community to help feed the hungry, creating new beers is a challenge. So we need help with the expenses of developing the taste profile, formulating the recipe, and obtaining the ingredients, as well as the costs of brewing, bottling and packaging Dead Irish Poet at the Summit Brewing Company.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/finnegans/finnegans-dead-irish-poet-extra-stout

FINNEGANS is the first beer in the world to donate 100 percent of their profits and with the help from craft brew enthusiasts the Dead Irish Poet can come to life.

Finnegans is the fifth largest beer brand in Minnesota, and it's available in more than 2,000 stores in the Upper Midwest. Its sales grow an average of 30% each year. But Finnegans is not your average craft beer brand. Every bit of profit raked in by the company goes back to the community--specifically, to purchasing produce from local farms and gardens and then giving that produce to local food banks and soup kitchens. In 2012 alone, Finnegans donated 110,189 pounds of fresh produce. This is a beer brand that doesn't just get people tipsy--it feeds the hungry. http://www.fastcoexist.com/3025778/why-this-popular-minnesota-beer-company-gives-away-all-of-its-profits
