BEVIS BENEFIT DEEMED A SUCCESS
Sat, 2009-08-15 08:01
For one very special night, an area of the Cagnazzi Racing shop
normally reserved for the preparation of 200-mph Pro Stock race cars was
transformed into a very special meeting place, with hundreds of people
gathering to help a racer in need. The Todd Bevis Benefit, which was
held this past Saturday in Mooresville, NC, drew friends, family
members and former teammates from as far away as Texas and New Jersey,
who enjoyed an evening of music, food, drink and companionship in
support of a well-respected member of the motorsports community.
As part of the event, a silent and live auction was held, featuring items ranging from race car parts and memorabilia from a variety of sanctioning bodies to beach vacations and airplane rides with the pr oceeds going to offset Bevis’ escalating medical costs. Although the tally has yet to be finalized, it is estimated that over $27,000 was raised. The highlight of the evening, however, came when Bevis addressed the crowd prior to the start of the live auction. Thanking them for their support and friendship, he showed the wit and humor for which he is so well known.
With Bevis continuing his fight to “kick cancer’s butt”, donations are still being accepted. For more information, please contact:
