Fundraiser: A Head For A Cure

Thank you for visiting www.AHead4ACure.com! A Head For A Cure is a Non-Profit Organization, which was established in 2010 by myself Jeep Van Wormer and my wife Angie. It was started in hopes of uniting the Dirt Late Model community together in the fight against cancer. This whole idea evolved when I was in Australia racing in the winter of 2009 and was approached to shave my head to raise money for cancer. In only an hour, over $3,000.00 was raised for charity from the fans at the racetrack and several of us drivers obliged in shaving our heads. We are kicking off our Brave the Shave campaign on June 10-12, 2010 at the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio during the 'Dream 100' weekend. Twenty-one generous drivers have agreed to get their head shaved during the 'World 100' weekend on September 9-11, 2010 at Eldora. In between those race weekends, fans are urged to donate money for their favorite driver by clicking on the DONATE HERE page of the website. We will be shaving heads in ascending order, according to the amount each driver raised. For example, if more money is donated for Jason Feger than any other driver, Jason will have his head shaved last in front of the crowd leading up to the 'World 100.' As stated before, A Head For A Cure is a Non-Profit Organization and proceeds from your donations will go to three charities: Children's Cancer Fund of America, Cancer Research Institute, and American Cancer Society. Please visit the CHARITIES page of the website to learn more about each of these reputable charities. In closing, Angie and myself would like to thank you once again for visiting the website and we hope that you can find it in your heart to donate for this worthy cause. It is our hope to bring drivers and race fans together to help cancer victims and their families. Together we really can make a difference!
