In response to the flooding in the Atlanta area, Lowes is making a $250,000 donation to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. In addition, all Lowes stores in Georgia are serving as official cash donation sites to benefit the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which helps people affected by disasters like the recent floods. In addition #48-Jimmie Johnson will be Racing for Relief at the Dover International Speedway this weekend to add to the contribution. Funds raised will help to provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to victims of disasters like the recent floods. As part of Racing for Relief, Lowes has decided to donate $48 for every lap of the scheduled 400 laps that Johnson completes in the Dover 400 on September 27. If Johnson wins his race, Lowes will donate an additional $4,800. The Red Cross logo will be displayed on the deck lid of the #48 Lowes Chevy. More info and to donate, see my Racing Charities page.(9-24-2009)
