Ninth Annual Racers for Tots Holiday Party  Ninth Annual Racers for Tots Holiday Party  Ninth Annual Racers for Tots Holiday Party

The Ninth Annual Racers for Tots Holiday Party was held on Saturday, December 8, 2007 at the South Fayette Fire Hall in Cuddy, PA 15031. The party is always a great time for racing folks to get together and have fun while supporting a very worthy cause.

Here are some photos taken at the party.

Once again, thanks to everyone for your generosity in contributing to Racers for Tots at the holiday party and during this year.


Congratulations to Rob Blair and Thanks to Everyone for Your Help!

Congratulations to late model driver Rob Blair for winning the 2007 Racers for Tots Rocket Late Model. The car was given away on Saturday, October 13, 2007.

Racers for Tots wants to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who purchased tickets. This was our biggest selling year for tickets for the race car.

Look for the 2008 Rocket--coming in February.


Fabulous Gunslingers Join Forces with Racers for Tots

The Fabulous Gunslingers will be selling stickers with their names on them for ten dollars each.  All proceeds will go to Racers for Tots.  By purchasing a sticker, you are not only displaying that you are a fan of the Gunslingers, but you are also helping someone in need.  Ten dollars is the average price spent on a new toy so you are buying a new toy for a needy child with every sticker. Also, the stickers will be placed on the 2007 Rocket Late Model race car that Racers for Tots raffles throughout the racing season.  Here is the best part of the sticker program.  Six lucky fans of the Gunslingers will accompany them at the stores to purchase the toys. 

The reason the Fabulous Gunslingers are joining with Racers for Tots is that they have seen firsthand the amount of toys that Racers for Tots has purchased with the money raised throughout the year for the Marines' Toys for Tots Program.  They have played at the annual Racers for Tots Christmas party for the past four years and have been witness to the Marines picking up the new toys and bikes. 

Last year Racers for Tots raised over $72,000.00 and filled two forty-foot trucks with toys and bikes.  Their eight year total is over $350,000.

2007 Racers for Tots Sponsors

Racers for Tots is pleased to announce two new sponsors for the 2007 Pontiac GTO Rocket late model - Sullivan General Contracting of Bridgeville and Bob Walter's Heavy Equipment Repairs in Pittsburgh.  They join returning sponsors Consol Energy, Hay's Heating & Cooling, #1 Cochran, and the Rhythm House Cafe, with product help from Rocket Chassis, Frankland Racing, Afco Racing, Hardrock Coating, and Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic. 

Without our sponsors' help we could not continue to raffle off a race car.  This is the 5th year Racers for Tots will raffle off a late model car.  Tickets are still only $10.00.  Last year Racers for Tots raised over $72,000 for needy children.
