JAMIE MCMURRAY FOUNDATION
HOSTS THIRD ANNUAL GOLF
TOURNAMENT ON OCTOBER 13TH
CONCORD, N.C. (October 8,
2008) – After a weekend full
of racing at Lowe’s Motor
Speedway, Jamie McMurray
will tee it up on Monday
morning in the Third Annual
Jamie McMurray Foundation
Golf Tournament in
Mooresville, N.C. McMurray
will be joined by friends
and sponsors who have helped
the Jamie McMurray
Foundation raise over
$100,000 for autism
awareness and research.
“It’s hard to believe the
golf tournament is really
next week,” said McMurray.
“We’ve put a lot of work
into this year’s tournament
to make it nothing short of
first class. There are a lot
of people that made this
event what it will be, but
nothing would have been
possible without the help of
our sponsors. Crown Royal
stepped up as the primary
sponsor, along with Stanford
Group, Coca-Cola, Aflac,
Sprint, Motorsports
Authentics and a ton of
others. The list goes on and
on, and it’s really those
sponsors who have made this
all possible.”
Joining McMurray for an
afternoon of golf are his
fellow Roush Fenway Racing
teammates Matt Kenseth, Greg
Biffle and David Ragan,
along with Denny Hamlin,
Rusty Wallace, Elliott
Sadler, Reed Sorenson and
others.
“I really can’t thank
those guys enough for taking
time out of their schedules
to come out and support our
foundation and help raise
money for such a great
cause.”
The JMF was formed in May
2006, and since has provided
more than $200,000 to Autism
Speaks and other autistic
foundations throughout the
United States.
“The Jamie McMurray
Foundation has come a very
long way since 2006. This
tournament is just another
step in the right direction
in raising funds and
awareness for autism,” said
McMurray. “Most people don’t
realize that autism effects
one in every 150 children
born today. Those are huge
numbers and through events
like our golf tournament, we
can help raise awareness and
funds in helping find a
cure.
“I know I speak for
everyone involved when I say
we are looking forward a
great day with some
wonderful friends and
sponsors.”
