Phoenix to support Victory Junction Gang Camp.

Phoenix International Raceway along with Banner Desert Health and the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) will work together to send three local children to the Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, North Carolina.

Before the end of the year, Chandler Goetz Jonathan Prince and Francisco Varella will travel to the camp for fun while still having medical treatment available to them.

The Victory Junction Gang Camp, located just 15 minutes from Greensboro, North Carolina, is about fuelling ill children with memories that will sustain and inspire them!

For the children, it's as simple as kicking back and relaxing, making friends with other children who have illnesses, not worrying about being different, experiencing the fun and activities of summer camp and making memories.

Starting today, PIR will be taking donations that will be placed into the Arizona fund for campers. Anyone interested in making dreams come true should log onto www.phoenixraceway.com and go to the link for Victory Junction Gang camp.

The camp is asking that all individual donations are at least $45 (the number of the car Adam Petty drove) however no donation will be turned away. Anyone making a donation of $45 or greater will receive a special t-shit from PIR in honour of NASCAR Day 2005, plus have their name engraved on a special trophy that will be placed inside the PIR cabin at the camp. The fund raising effort will end on NASCAR Day (May 20th 2005).

Last year, PIR, area race fans and local companies raised $20,000 for a special fund to assist Arizona children attend the racing themed camp. As a result, two Arizona children attended the camp last autumn.
