“We started the Racing For A Reason Foundation in 1993 to help benefit great organizations like The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,” said Evernham. “I’ve had a strong association with The Society for over ten years, predominately with their Charlotte (NC) chapter. We recently initiated discussions with them to explore ways to grow our relationship and we quickly identified some exciting opportunities.”
Bill Elliott said he is also pleased to be participating in this program. “This is a great cause and I’m glad to be involved with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This organization helps a lot of people and we hope this raises the awareness of what they do.”
