Race
Fans for a Cure® to Support Chris Wimmer
Throughout ’04 Season
MB Motorsports, of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck
Series, is pleased to announce Race Fans for
a Cure® (RFFAC) will be onboard with its
driver, Chris Wimmer, for the entirety of the
2004 season. Race Fans for a Cure® had
already signed on for Wimmer’s previous
two races in Martinsville, Va., and Mansfield,
Ohio, and recently agreed to become a fulltime
sponsor for the team.
“We’re very pleased to have Race
Fans for a Cure® on our #63 Ford F-150
for the rest of the season,” said Wimmer. “The
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is
a cause we support enthusiastically here at
MB Motorsports and we’re glad to join
them in the fight against breast cancer.”
Since 2000, Race Fans for a Cure® has
been spreading the life-saving message of breast
cancer early detection at race tracks and racing
events across the country. Thanks to the generous
support of race fans all over the country,
RFFAC has raised over $400,000 for the Susan
G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in support
of its mission to eradicate breast cancer as
a life-threatening disease through research,
education, screening and treatment.
The personnel at MB Motorsports are familiar
with the pain caused by breast cancer, as Beverly
Mittler, wife of team owner/crew chief, Mike
Mittler, is a breast cancer survivor.
“Having lived through the nightmare
of cancer with Bev,” said Mike Mittler, “I
know the good that the Komen Foundation has
done for women and their families touched by
breast cancer. For Race Fans for a Cure® to
come onboard with us, it’s very special.
I just hope we can do our part to promote this
organization that has done so much to help
so many.”
The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation
was founded in 1982 on a promise made between
two sisters. More than 20 years later, the
Komen Foundation is a global leader in the
fight against breast cancer through its support
of innovative research and educational, scientific
and community outreach programs around the
world. For more information, visit www.komen.org.
