SUNOCO RED CROSS PENNSYLVANIA 500
RACE
TO BENEFIT AMERICAN RED CROSS
PHILADELPHIA –
July 1, 2008 –
Brandon Igdalsky,
President of Pocono
Raceway, Tom Foley,
CEO of the American Red
Cross Southeastern
Pennsylvania (SEPA)
Chapter, and Bob
Owens, Senior Vice
President of Sunoco,
today announced the
details for the
Sunoco Red Cross
Pennsylvania 500, to
take place August 1-3.
A
partnership of Sunoco,
Pocono Raceway and the
American Red Cross
Southeastern
Pennsylvania Chapter was
formed to provide
much-needed funds to
help people throughout
Southeastern
Pennsylvania recover
from devastating
disaster. Through this
partnership, Pocono
Raceway is also donating
a portion of the
proceeds from ticket
sales and merchandise,
as well as providing
other revenue-generating
efforts to benefit the
Red Cross SEPA Chapter’s
Red Cross House.
“This is the first time
since 1997 Pocono
Raceway has changed the
name of the race –
Pocono Raceway admires
and respects the work of
the Red Cross and wanted
to help support its
mission and the great
work they do for
families in
Pennsylvania,” stated
Brandon Igdalsky.
“It
is a tremendous
privilege to have the
famed Pennsylvania 500
named in our honor this
year,” said Red Cross
SEPA Chapter CEO Tom
Foley. “Sunoco has been
a valued corporate
partner to the Red Cross
for many years, and
through their generosity
and the generosity of
Pocono Raceway and the
Mattioli family, we hope
to use this event to
generate much-needed
funds for Red Cross
House.”
"Sunoco is pleased to
support this important
initiative," said Bob
Owens, Senior Vice
President of Sunoco,
Inc. "Whether it's
providing local disaster
relief, offering skills
training in the areas of
health and safety, or
running blood drives,
the Red Cross provides
valuable services to the
community. We know
NASCAR fans will join us
in this effort and
support the work of the
Red Cross."
As part of this
partnership, Pocono
Raceway is donating ten
percent of the ticket
revenue generated by
online ticket buyers who
use the Red Cross promo
code, REDCROSS.
As an added incentive,
those race fans
purchasing the first
1,500 Sunday, August 3,
