Second-annual MRO food drive at WERA & AMA events at VIR


The Second-Annual Motor Racing Outreach VIR Food Drive to benefit God’s Storehouse in Danville, Va. will be taking place at the Suzuki White Lightning AMA Pro Superbike Nationals, to be held August 13 – 15, 2010 at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Va.

As last season, the food drive will be held on both the WERA and AMA Pro weekends, August 6 – 8 and 13 – 15, 2010, respectively. Riders, teams, fans, officials and everyone who attends are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Storehouse. Last year, the combined weekends raised more than 400 pounds of food that were distributed to the needy in the Danville, Va. area.

There will be marked gray bins throughout the paddock and vendor areas for donations to be dropped off. Any AMA Pro teams that have unopened food left over on Sunday are asked to request a bin, and MRO Chaplain Tim Burleson will see to it that you have one so your leftover food can be donated.
