Goodguys Rod and Custom Association join with the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer to impact the lives of children with cancer.

 This partnership will provide the Austin Hatcher Foundation with opportunities to educate both children and adults about healthy lifestyles that prevent cancer, as well as provide much-needed therapies, in a variety of cities throughout the United States as well as raising funds and awareness for the Foundation’s mission to erase the effects of pediatric cancer for patients, survivors and their families.

The Foundation provides services to children with cancer, as well as their families, through its cancer care center, Hatch’s House of Hope at no cost to the families. Services are funded solely by the generous donations of supporters.

Goodguys will work with the Foundation at several shows during 2015 by creating awareness for Goodguys members and show attendees by participating in the “AutoCross for Kids”, as well as through volunteering for some of the program’s initiatives.

On Fridays and Sundays car show attendees can make a donation to the Austin Hatcher Foundation and get a ride with Pro Auto Cross competitors on a specially-prepared closed performance Auto Cross course.

During each event weekend, the Foundation also will partner with a local hospital to bring its innovative Diversionary Therapy program to children and families in the pediatric oncology units.... like when Brianne Hager of B's Sweets donated a special cake decorating teaching session with one of the patients at Hatch's House of Hope!

But back to the cars:
The program is designed to help patients, survivors and their families, enjoy leisure time by building and racing the Foundation’s pinewood derby cars, in the process offering a simple but effective diversion from the challenges presented by pediatric cancer. Goodguys will enhance the program by inviting members of the local hot rod community to participate and display collectible cars.

The partnership will kick off at the Goodguys 1st North Carolina Nationals on April 17-19 at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C. Attendees should check the event schedule for special activities and times of the AutoCross for Kids.

 More information can be found at https://www.good-guys.com/?p=9173&option=com_wordpress&Itemid=1567 and on the AutoCross for Kids landing page at www.hatcherfoundation.org/autocross  and https://www.facebook.com/AustinHatcherFoundation

Or maybe you're going on the Hot Rod Power Tour? Like the Valkyrie Road Warriors, who are raising money while on Power Tour by accepting passengers in exchange for donations to the Austin Hatcher Foundation http://www.hatcherfoundation.org/roadwarriors/

Or you might consider donating a car to the Austin Hatcher Foundation Garage,

 like Dan Gurney and (Galpin Auto Sports) Steve Carpenter did, and these two cars raised $330,000
