SpeedFreaks Fundraiser UPDATE
SpeedFreaks Auction Items and Guest List Grows to Seismic Proportions To Raise Money For Ernesto Fonseca Sunday June 25, 2006 (Los Angeles, CA) - Tonight, as SpeedFreaks host their six year anniversary at Southern California's SpeedZone, with a live broadcast on the Freak Radio Network from 7 to 9 pm PST, the real celebration will be the money raised for Ernesto Fonseca. SpeedFreaks' silent auction to help raise money for the injured Supercross/ Motocross rider is on track to be one of the most fruitful events in the Freaks history. All of the Southern California Freak Nation is welcome, or should we say, encouraged to attend with plenty of cash and personal checks to help raise money for the Ernesto Fonseca Fund (Below is a complete list of items up for bid). Ernesto will make a special appearance in the Freak Nation Tonight as he calls in from his current Denver residence with his first interview since the accident. Plus, special guests on hand to help make this an epic event will be Michael Jordan Motorsports Superbike rider Steve Rapp, Drifting Champions Sam Hubinette & Tanner Faust and American Racing ATX Dirt Team pilot Jerry Zaiden. Other phone calls will be from Motocross/ Supercross rider Kevin Windham, NASCAR Truck Winner Johnny Benson, IndyCar Winner Sam Hornish and CNN's 'Dirt Track' Senior Producer Ted Rubenstein. The National & International Freak Nation is also invited to listen LIVE to Fonseca's interview, as well as listen to how the Freaks may incorporate an internet auction to help the bidding process for the Fonseca Fund. (Listening live each Sunday night is easy... listen live on www.SpeedFreaks.TV , www.sportsbyline.com , Sirius Satellite channel 122 and several US radio affiliates across the country) Of all the proceeds raised, 100% of the money will go to help Ernesto Fonseca.
