Representatives of Glory Foods, Inc., have announced the company’s sponsorship of a series of NASCAR races in which food and funds will be donated through its ‘Race To Feeding America’ campaign to Feeding America the nation’s premier domestic hunger-relief charity to support child hunger efforts. An initial donation of 43,000 pounds of canned goods from Glory Foods was made to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, a Feeding America food bank in Charlotte, N.C. Charna said Glory Foods is sponsoring Front Row Motorsports entries in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events in Atlanta, Bristol, Tenn., and Charlotte and will donate to Feeding America enough money and canned food products to exceed its campaign goal of 500,000 meals to children nationwide. Glory Foods ‘ sponsorship program includes primary sponsorship of two Front Row Motorsports entries: the #34 of David Ragan and the #38 of David Gilliland. The sponsorship includes a special head-to-head challenge for the Oct. 13 Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. ‘My teammate, David Gilliland, and I want to heighten awareness about the issue of child hunger right here in our own country,’ Ragan said. ‘In doing so, I hope we all become better stewards to children, one meal at a time.’ If either driver wins in Charlotte, Glory Foods will donate $1 million to Feeding America. As a thank you to fans for their coming support, they will be able to enter a sweepstakes at www.racetofeedingamerica.org to win two hot passes to the 2013 Coca-Cola 600 in May at Charlotte Motor Speedway.(Glory Foods)(8-8-2012)
