EDMONTON, Alberta, July 25, 2006 – Through corporate
sponsorships and philanthropic causes, Newman Wachs
Racing (NWR) sets a new standard for professional racing
teams worldwide. Founded in 2005, NWR recently
announced two bold marketing strategies this year in an
effort to affect environmental change both globally and
individually.
First, NWR partnered with the American Nuclear Society,
a non-profit organization promoting international unification
of scientific development and education in nuclear energy.
Founded in Washington, DC in 1954, its 10,500 members
include top engineers, scientists, administrators and
educators representing 1600-plus corporations, educational
institutions and government agencies.
NWR’s principle founders, Paul Newman and Eddie Wachs
have encouraged the structure and development of nuclear
energy.
“Nuclear energy is the best realistic energy source,” said
Wachs, “but it will take congressional discipline to shepherd
the development through environmental pressures.”
The ANS’s sponsorship of NWR exemplifies the united belief
that through shared resources and technology, a vast, clean
energy source can be developed and harnessed to better the
environment and society.
In addition to supporting global ownership of clean air, NWR
announced earlier this year the development of the QUIT!
Campaign, an effort to encourage racing fans to quit smoking.
NWR hopes to continue providing tobacco awareness
education through their involvement in motorsports.
“The ‘Quit’ logo on the side of our cars isn’t just a friendly
reminder to our racing competition,” said Cea Larkin, Director
of Marketing for NWR, “It’s a reminder to racing fans that our
environment can and should be affected by personal
involvement, even if it’s as simple as stubbing out a bad habit.”
The QUIT! Campaign will be developed over the next year, with
future corporate and philanthropic partners to be announced.
