HARRISBURG, NC - The Jeff Gordon Foundation, a non-profit organization, will begin hosting monthly online auctions to raise money for charity.

The online auctions will feature Jeff Gordon racing memorabilia and other specialty racing items. Beginning on February 12, 2001, the online auctions can be found on the website "AFundraiser.com." The first auction will feature a Jeff Gordon Daytona 500 practice helmet with a special "NASCAR 2000" paint scheme.

The Jeff Gordon Foundation was established by three-time NASCAR Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon and his wife Brooke. The Foundation is dedicated to help support the physical, social and intellectual needs of children and their families throughout the United States.

The Foundation has chosen to primarily support three charities that represent Jeff and Brooke's commitment to children and their families. The charities are: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, and The Marrow Foundation (which includes The Hendrick Marrow Program). The Foundation will also support various other charitable organizations on a case-by-case basis.

For more information on The Jeff Gordon Foundation and upcoming online auctions, you can visit "JeffGordonFoundation.org" and "JeffGordon.com."
