For Immediate Release

PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY BEGINS DRIVE TO $100,000.00 FOR RELAY FOR LIFE!

(Perris, CA, April 9, 2014) This Saturday night, April 12th, when Perris Auto Speedway hosts the So. Cal Sprint Car Spectacular” featuring the STP World of Outlaws, Amsoil USAC/CRA and PAS Senior Sprint Cars, the popular Riverside County oval will begin “The Drive for $1200,00.00” for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Spectator gates will open at 4:00 PM on Saturday and the first race will bump off just after 7:00.

2014 will mark the eighth consecutive year that the track has supported the Relay for Life. To date, $89,711.00 has been collected and Perris Auto Speedway promoter Don Kazarian hopes to see that total top $100,000.00 in 2014.

“This all boils down to our great fans,” Kazarian said. “We have asked them to help us in this and they have done so every year. From pocket change to hundred dollar bills, it all helps and our fans have been very generous in helping fight this dreaded disease. We also have to thank all of our wonderful drivers. They go into the stands at the events and collect money in their helmets. That is where a majority of it comes form. All of the fans and drivers have relatives or friends who have been affected by cancer and they know it is a horrible disease. They all have given graciously to help.”

In addition to this Saturday, there will be three other dates that the track will be collecting donations. April 26th at Night of Destruction #2, May 24th Salute to Indy and July 4th.

In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office. He decided to personally raise money for the fight against cancer by doing something he enjoyed—running marathons.

In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma for more than 83 miles. Throughout the night, friends donated $25 to run or walk 30 minutes with him. He raised $27,000 to fight cancer. That first year, nearly 300 of Dr. Klatt's friends, family, and patients watched as he ran and walked the course.

While he circled the track those 24 hours, he thought about how others could take part. He envisioned a 24-hour team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Months later he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event known as the City of Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.

In 1986, 19 teams took part in the first team relay event on the track at the colorful, historical Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. An indescribable spirit prevailed at the track and in the tents that dotted the infield.

The vision turned into over 5,200 Relay For Life events across the United States today and nearly $5 billion in fundraising to save lives from cancer. In addition, the American Cancer Society licenses twenty non-governmental cancer organizations in other countries to hold Relay For Life events to battle cancer across the globe.

For 28 years, Relay For Life has provided inspiration and hope for millions of cancer survivors and
