DELAWARE, Ohio (January 30, 2007) - The Ohio Valley Region of the Sports Car
Club of America (SCCA) recently presented a check in the amount of $4,000 to
Troy, Mike, and Jeg Coughlin Jr. with the proceeds earmarked for JEGS
Foundation Racing for Cancer Research program. The privately-funded entity of the
JEGS Foundation for Cancer Research benefits the James Cancer Hospital and
Solove Research Institute, the Columbus Children's Hospital, and the

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.
