Today, the team banded together with colleagues from Joe Gibbs Racing, NASCAR and M&MS to make improvements of a different kind. This unique team, comprised of more than 50 volunteers, is helping build two Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte homes in the Charlotte area, which includes the future homes of Yasin Mohamed and Egland Isak and their three children, as well as Kung Mang and Sung Thluai and their two children. The effort is part of M&MS MProve America campaign, a year-long partnership with Habitat designed to fund construction of new Habitat homes across the United States. Fans can join Busch and M&MS by pledging to volunteer their time and talents at Habitat for Humanity build sites across the country at www.mproveamerica.com . This year, M&MS is encouraging its associates and fans to log an ambitious 1.5 million minutes “ or 25,000 hours “ of volunteer time with Habitat. In addition to encouraging fans to volunteer time, M&MS is also making a donation of $500,000 to Habitat for Humanity to fund the construction of Habitat homes in 2013. Later this month, M&MS will also introduce specially marked MProve America packages of red, white and blue M&MS Brand Candies in stores nationwide. The M&MS MProve America campaign will also be on display during the Coca-Cola 600 on May 26 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when Busch gets behind the wheel of a special #18 M&MS MProve America Toyota.( Wall Street Journal ), see an image of the scheme on my #18 Team Schemes page .
