AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY HITCHES A RIDE WITH

NEWMAN WACHS

 

Regional ACS Chapter Partners With NWR for Cancer

Patients

 

 

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 29, 2006 – Following the

announcement of Newman Wachs Racing’s (NWR)

QUIT! campaign, NWR partners with the regional chapter

of the American Cancer Society (ACS) to better serve the

citizens of California in need of cancer treatment.

 

The regional chapter of ACS announces two new charity

drives during the Canary Foundation Grand Prix of San

Jose, Presented by Taylor Woodrow Atlantic. The

‘Cars For A Cure’ campaign asks racing fans to donate a

car, truck, van, recreational vehicle or boat. The proceeds

from the sale of the donated vehicle will go to support the

ACS and the donation is tax deductible.

 

NWR also joins the ‘Car and Drivers’ campaign, a program

which matches volunteer drivers to cancer patients in need

of regular transportation to treatment facilities.

 

“The American Cancer Society is a mainstay in public

awareness and research regarding cancer,” said Cea Larkin,

Director of Marketing for NWR. “Their principles mirror not

only those of our QUIT! campaign, but those of the entire

Newman Wachs Racing team.”

 

The ACS, founded in 1913, has invested nearly $3 billion in

cancer research since its inception and has funded 38 Nobel

Prize winners. The ACS continues to provide contributions

supporting research, prevention, patient services, and treatment

to the community. For more information on the ‘Cars For A

Cure’ campaign and the ACS, call 1-888-CAR-5500 or visit

www.cancer.org.

 

NWR, established in October, 2005 by Paul Newman and Eddie

Wachs, began its QUIT! campaign early in the 2006 Champ Car

Atlantic season. Its goal, with the help of various corporate and

philanthropic sponsors, is to encourage racing fans to quit

smoking by providing tobacco awareness education through

NWR’s involvement in motorsports. For more information on the

NWR team, visit www.newmanwachsracing.com.
