2nd Annual Carroll Shelby Children's "Win-A-Shelby" Raffle

GARDENA, CA (November 2006) - The Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation*,
an organization dedicated to providing assistance for acute coronary and
kidney care for young people, founded by automotive icon Carroll Shelby,
will offer a new 2007 Ford Shelby GT500, the fastest Mustang ever, for
its second annual "Win-a-Shelby" raffle.  The GT500, painted "vista
blue" with white performance stripes and packing a powerful 500
horsepower engine, is titled and owned by race legend Carroll Shelby and
will be presented to the lucky raffle winner following the ticket
drawing in 2007.  

 

The GT500 will be on display at numerous automotive events over the next
eight months, including Shelby and Ford related events, and
Barrett-Jackson Auctions among others. A list of events the CSCF will be
attending can be found on its website at www.CSCF.org.

 

"We are very excited to offer Carroll Shelby's personal GT500 for our
second 'Win-a-Shelby' raffle," said Jenni Shreeves, Executive Director
of the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation*.  "Thanks to the generosity
of Ford Motor Company and Shelby enthusiasts worldwide, we hope to
eclipse our fundraising efforts from the first raffle and raise even
more aid and awareness for children and their families in need."

 

The Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation* hopes to surpass the success
of the first "Win-a-Shelby" raffle of Carroll Shelby's personal
aluminum-bodied Shelby Cobra CSX 1000 that raised $485,000, with all
proceeds benefiting the Foundation.

 

Tickets can be obtained through the Carroll Shelby Children's Foundation
