Throughout the evening event, racing fans will have an opportunity to mix and mingle with
NHRA drivers competing at Atlanta Dragway in Commerce during the Summit Racing
Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals April 24-27. Some of the drivers who will attend include
Burgess and Ashley, Melanie Troxel, Gary Scelzi, Frank Hawley, Jack Beckman, Matt Smith,
Raymond Commisso and Danny Rowe.
“As race car owners and drivers, when we break a part, we throw it away and get a new one,”
said Burgess, co-founder of ProCare Rx located in Duluth, Ga. “What if parents did that with
their children? As sad as that sounds, it is happening every day right here in the U.S.A.
Unable or, in some cases unwilling, to care for their child because of complicated and costly
medical treatments, parents are throwing away their children.”
“We have to do something about that,” Burgess continues. “Without help, medically fragile
children become wards of the state and spend a great part or all of their life in the hospital or
an adult-oriented nursing home. One woman, Laura Moore, has dedicated her life to making
a difference for these children.”
Dream House Founder and CEO Laura Moore is thrilled that a whole new audience will be
exposed to the plight of medically fragile children. “We believe every child deserves a home,
a family and a future,” she commented. “Dream House gives medically fragile children more
than a vacation or a chance to make a memory. We help these precious children find their
forever home and family for keeps!”
When asked what has motivated him to get involved with Dream House Burgess said, “Giving
money is easy, giving time is hard, and giving your life takes an angel. Laura Moore is an
angel. She needs our help so Dream House can help these kids find loving, caring homes.”
Dream House is a non-profit organization dedicated to transitioning medically fragile children
from institutions to homes, training families and preparing their houses so they can have the
quality of life they deserve. To learn more about Dream House for Medically Fragile Children,
