Hey campers!! Not sure if everyone has seen the post at the top of this thread. But I extended a challenge to ALL of the members to help raise money for the NASCAR Foundation. I realize not everyone is going to be able to attend a race, or want to walk, or if there is going to be a walk at the track you are going.
So...HERE is the challenge!! I am asking all of the members to donate 5.00 to the NascarCamping.com Team page that I set up. You make your donations directly to the foundation, you can use debit or credit card.
BUT...to sweeten the pot...MR. NASCARCAMPING upped the ante by saying he will MATCH our contributions dollar for dollar up to 500.00!! SO...if he is willing to match our contributions, we might as well make HIM fork out the fat cash.
I am sure most of you are aware that MR. NASCARCAMPING is VERY big into Philantrophy, and makes it his life's work to give back to others. He is the one that makes this very website, forum, and now the awesome Ning community available to all of us for free. SO, in his very generous spirit...let's all chip in and give 5.00 to this charity that is near and dear to all of us and to honor the man that makes all of this possible for all of us!! He has inspired me...and I hope that the rest of you will make a small contribution to make a huge statement from OUR members!!!
This is the link to the thread where he made his matching fund challenge... http://www.nascarcamping.com/board/showthread.php?t=1577
This is the link to the TEAM PAGE at the NASCAR Foundation to make your online donation!!

Well, it appears they have the donation page up and running again on the NASCAR Foundation page...(you would think they would keep it running...)
Sorry for the troubles...it took me two weeks just to get it set up due to technical difficulties...ugh!!
Whip out those debit cards...squeeze it for 5.00!! :D

No thanks needed...happy to do it!! Without the rest of you, and Mr. NascarCamping as the inspiration to do that...none of it would have been a reality!!
Let's just blow that goal out of the water! :)
