(Press Release from Northeastern Midget Association)
The Northeastern Midget Association will team with the Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park to sponsor a “Stand Up To Cancer” event on Sunday 10/18/15 at the Sunoco World Series of Racing. The event will occur during the NEMA Lites 4 – wide fan appreciation parade lap just prior to their feature race.
All race fans will be given a card at the ticket booth upon entering the speedway and asked to write the name of a loved one or friend affected by cancer on the card. Then at the time of the 4 – wide NEMA Lite parade lap, all fans will be asked to stand and hold up the card in support of that person.
This event is a joint effort to not only bring awareness to early detection and a drive to a cure, but to also establish a record for the largest number of race fans to join a “Stand Up To Cancer” event in the state of Connecticut.
In addition, the organizer’s are asking for a one dollar donation to benefit the Connecticut American Cancer Society.
NEMA and the Thompson Speedway would like to thank all race fans in advance for your participation.
