FitchRacer07 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Remember that people have lost everything. Toiltries and new socks and underwear are in great need. Many members of the racing community have been affected by this tragedy both directly and indirectly. Lets all step it up and come together as we usually do to help those in need. Hope to see a great turnout on Saturday. Members of Team Teague Racing will be walking around the grandstands at Thunderhill Raceway with a helmet for any monetary donations. Please get the word out to any fans that may not have access to our facebook page or speedzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racingra Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I was at work reading this when a co worker told me that her church wanted to help out as much as possible and wanted to donate items. I am sending them the Kruger familys clothes sizes and told them other essentials family's could be needing. Lori or Lisha, I will contact you guys about this. -Renae Farr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing to hear about all of the generosity being shown, even though they might not know the families affected. Bless you and the congregation at your church.

top_shelf_12 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 A church here donated all of the offerings collected at their "First Wednesday" service last night to the Red Cross to be sent to the Cen Tex region for the fires. I was in class so didn't see the turnout, but it was originally highlighted as a live recording for the house band's upcoming album and this church is known for making substancial contributions so hopefully the Red Cross is serving you guys well up there. We're thinking of you guys down in CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitchRacer07 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Just wanted to say that we had an amazing outporuing of support, however we just got a little bad news. The distribution center is not going to be accepting items after Tuesday which means we are going to be unable to hold on to the items and they will need to be delivered asap. We really intended to have the racing families go through the items before they were delivered, however it looks like that will not be able to happen. They can take advantage of the Distribution Center at 210 Main Street in Smithville. We would very much like to thank all those that donated. A huge thank you to Joe Aramendia and Aramendia motorsoports for donating their winnings to help the cause. It was huge and is greatly appreciated. Again thank you for all your donations both monetary and in kind items. We had a great turnout and it was amazing to see the outpouring of support. The racing community comes through again. AWESOME JOB!!! If you are a racer that has been affected please message Deb Williams and let her know your address and or phone number where you can be reached. Thank you again to everyone who donated and all those that helped out. Thank you to Thunderhill Raceway for allowing us to take up pit space to accept donations. And thanks to Nick Cole Racing and Jake Wright Motorsports for teaming up with on the endeavor. Team Teague Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
