Susan G. Komen and NASCAR Day

The NASCAR Foundation has announced that NASCAR Day will "Go Pink" through a joint partnership with FOX Sports Supports and Susan G. Komen for the Cure® April 24-26.

Celebrated on May 15, NASCAR Day is an opportunity for fans, corporations, schools and organizations across the country to donate to The NASCAR Foundation to raise funds to help thousands of children live better lives.

Through the partnership between The NASCAR Foundation, FOX Sports Supports and Komen for the Cure, a portion of the net proceeds raised through the program will benefit Komen for the Cure, supporting its promise to save lives end breast cancer forever. Specifically, the money raised will support the Susan G. Komen Scholarship Fund – a fund specifically designed for children whose mothers have lost their battle against cancer.

The NASCAR Foundation also announced that APlus at Sunoco, the official pit stop of NASCAR, will be the official "pin stop" for NASCAR Day pins this year. Fans will be able to visit participating locations to make a donation. Anyone making a donation of $5 or more will receive a collectible lapel pin.

NBaP thinks that since NASCAR fans do have a great reputation for supporting causes that our sport looks to support, we should make the fan base proud and do what we can for this great cause.  There's a ton more info at the NASCAR news link at NASCAR.com.

  1. The Susan G. Komen Fund supports Planned Parenthood. It is somewhat surprising to me that a Christian Organization that reaches a very large population is in favor of supporting a fund that has ties to an anti-life organization. Every year millions of innocent babies are killed in the womb of mothers due to abortion. Planned Parenthood is one of the largest supporters of this. There is scientific evidence, that most people are not aware of, that abortion can cause breast cancer. It appears that Planned Parenthood has infiltrated yet another organization (Susan G. Komen) with more lies to line their pockets with money to continue to plague our world with its agenda. Please pray for the end to abortion, and anti-life organizations. FOR LIFE
