Barry Baker  proudly gave the check to the Coughlin brothers as he thanked 
the many SCCA  volunteers and supporters who helped collect the funds throughout 
the 2006  racing season. Ohio Valley Region members held bakes sales, 
auctions, and  raffles during the annual Stanberry Cup race to honor former members 
and friends  who lost their lives to cancer.

For the second  year in a row, Ohioans Mike and Jane DeChicco made a generous 
contribution to  JEG'S Foundation for Cancer Research, which benefits the  
James  Cancer  Hospital and Solove Research  Institute, the Columbus Children's 
Hospital, and the  University  Hospitals Health  System Ireland  Cancer  
Center. 
Mike DeChicco  and his wife Dr. Jane Graebner have been hosting a winter gala 
in  Delaware  County home to raise funds for those  touched by cancer. Their 
second annual Bench Race Winter Nationals & Charity  Challenge hosted some of 
central Ohio's finest drag racers, who all pulled  together to raise funds and 
awareness for cancer research. The winner of the  couple's 50/50 raffle and 
the Bench Race Nationals both contributed their  proceeds to DeChicco.
