MARFC Randall Ginter Benevolent Fundraiser set for February 24, 2018

Saturday February 24, 2018: MICHIGAN AUTOMOBILE RACING FAN CLUB Presents the 2018 Charity Fundraiser & Bowling Tournament on February 24, 2018. Meeting will be at the Capitol Bowl in Owosso located at 219 S. Washington St., Owosso, Michigan 48867. This event helps raise money for the American Cancer Society as well as those in the racing world who need a helping hand during a time of sickness or hardship. Our meeting will begin before the start of the tournament at 6:30 pm. We are also helping this event by volunteering to help with donations and raffle prizes and those who like to bowl can bowl to help too. So, come out and help MARFC support this event. Some of you might want to know a little bit more about this fund so let me explain a little bit about the reason for this fund. Back in 1994 Randy & Susan Ginter received our Fans of the Year Award. Sadly, not too long after Randy passed away and Susan and the Ginter family wanted to give back to the club, so this fund was set up to help those who are injured during a racing event anywhere in the state of Michigan. We try to send them a little something to help them as they recover or to assist the family should loss of life happen. We are always taking donations to help keep this fund moving forward and our February event at the Owosso Capitol Bowling Alley will benefit this fund as well as the American Cancer Society. So, thank you to those who have given a little extra throughout the year and to those folks who will help us in the future. Thanks Again I Appreciate it personally and well as the club as a whole!
