Trade Food for Race Tickets at Thanksgiving Food Drive

Fans Trade Food for Motorcycle Tickets 

at Thanksgiving Food Drive

 

SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Starting this week, race fans and
community members will not only help feed the needy, but they will also
help themselves to free race tickets at Infineon Raceway's 4th annual
Thanksgiving Food Drive. 

 

Infineon Raceway will partner with Mary's Pizza Shack, Froggy 92.9 FM
(Santa Rosa) and Destination RKA to help feed needy families throughout
Sonoma County this winter. All food raised from the drive will benefit
Friends in Sonoma Helping (FISH). The drive has raised more than 3,300
pounds of non-perishable food items since 2000, with 1,300 pounds of
food generated in 2003.  The goal for the 2004 drive is 1,500 pounds.

 

There will be some two-wheel excitement in store for those who donate
four or more non-perishable food items. They will be rewarded with a
FREE ticket to qualifying during the Kawasaki AMA Superbike Showdown in
2005. Qualifying will take place on Friday, May 13. To receive your
ticket voucher, simply present a photo ID with your non-perishable food
items to the employee at the front desk at Infineon Raceway.  Only two
tickets are allowed per family.  Those who donate food at any of the
satellite locations, or by mail, will receive their ticket vouchers by
mail.   

 

The public is encouraged to bring their non-perishable food items to the
raceway during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.)
from Oct. 19-Nov. 19.  Items can be dropped in bins located in the main
office. The raceway is located at 29355 Arnold Dr., Sonoma, CA 95476
(800-870-RACE).
