Malaria No More is teaming up with Patrón Highcroft Racing for Miles to End Malaria to raise funds and awareness for the race to save lives from malaria throughout the 2009 American Le Mans Season.
Patrón Highcroft Racing is kicking off the fundraising efforts by donating five dollars for every mile the team completes in the 2009 race season—approximately 4,500 miles—to Malaria No More. That contribution will be matched by the team’s sponsor, Tequila Patrón, for a starting point of $10 per mile.
That’s a bed net for every mile—and race fans from across the country can be part of the team! Fans can pledge as little as one penny per mile and watch the team’s progress on the track turn into lives saved. Malaria No More will use all donations to send mosquito nets to families in need in Africa.
Adding to the cool factor, Patrón Highcroft Racing has put the Malaria No More logo on its brand new Acura ARX-02a racecar.
The program officially launches this Friday, as the team prepares for its first race of the season, the Twelve Hours of Sebring on Saturday, March 21st. Learn more about Miles to End Malaria at www.MilesToEndMalaria.org.
