Mark and Denise are pictured here with NHRA Top Fuel Driver Tony Schumacher. He graciously took time at the Route 66 Nationals to help Juvenile Diabetes No Limits Foundation get the helmet signed for the November fundraiser. Some of the names on the helmet are Chicago's 7-time Top Fuel Champion Tony Schumacher, The Golden Greek Chris Karamesines, Big Daddy Don Garlits, Robert Hight, Spencer Massey, Melanie Troxel and 15-time Funny Car Champion John Force – just to name a few. This is a collectors “must-have” helmet! (It’s also signed by Foundation Advisory Board Member Steve Michaels – also an NHRA driver and type 1 diabetic!)
The ultimate goal of the fundraiser was to help the Foundation continue to bring Check B4U Drive to teens with diabetes across the U.S. It’s part of the mission of the Foundation to help teens (kids and young adults) learn to manage their diabetes, achieve their dreams and live a life where diabetes doesn’t prevent – or limit – what they do. In turn the Foundation asks that as these individuals achieve their successes in life, they give back to other youngsters with diabetes and help them achieve their dreams too!
Tickets for the event were $25 and included buffet dinner/dessert, a door prize entry ticket, 4 games of "scotch doubles," auctions, raffles, "split the pot" and more. Please contact event chairpersons Denise Hooten (dhooten@jdnolimits.org) and Mark Lippe (markl@dadinnovations.com) with any questions!
Thank you for your support!
