SAM SCHMIDT PARALYSIS FOUNDATION TO HOST DAY AT RACES AT CHICAGOLAND SPEEDWAY
The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation and Sam Schmidt
Motorsports will be hosting several guests as a part of its "Day at the
Races" program on Saturday, September 8th, at 12 p.m. in the Patron
Spirits/Racing Hospitality Tent.
The event, sponsored by the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, Chicagoland
Speedway, United Medical Providers, Quickie, and Patron Spirits and Racing,
will include a catered lunch courtesy of Patron Racing Hospitality, speeches
from the foundation's president, Ida Cahill, and founder, Sam Schmidt, and a
tour of the paddock area of the Chicagoland Speedway.
Also, Sam Schmidt Motorsports drivers Alex Lloyd, Ryan Justice, Logan Gomez,
and Leilani Münter will be in the tent signing autographs.
Guests include spinal cord injured patients and patients with other
neurological disorders from the Chicagoland area.
Visitors to the event will learn through the program what the work of the
foundation seeks to do and what resources may be available to them.
For many of the visitors to these events, not only will it be their first
time at a race track, but more importantly, their first time out of the
hospital.
"This program has been getting bigger and better every time we've done it,"
Schmidt said. "We're grateful to Andretti/Green Racing for all the help and
support they've offered us this year, and we're excited about the
opportunity to spend time in the Patron Racing tent this weekend. I know
they'll do a great job in providing a fun, hospitable atmosphere for our
guests this weekend."
This is the last "Day at the Races" program for 2007.
