Porter,
TX (February 5, 2009) Royal
Purple Synthetic Lubricants announced today its title sponsorship of the 4th
Annual Powder Puff Race for the Cure, created by M.O.R.E (Mohave
Off-Road Enthusiast) & DAMZL Inc. Benefits and donations acquired from
this year's event will support Cedar Sinai Women's Breast Cancer Research
Center. This year's event will take place in Barstow California October
9-10, 2009.
Last
year, the Powder Puff Race for the Cure, reached an all time high with more
than 160 teams racing, who combined with donations, raised more than $115,000
for the Cedar Sinai Women's Breast Cancer Research Center. This year, the
Powder Puff Race for the Cure is working to raise more than $150,000 to help
further this cause.
We're
excited to be a part of such a phenomenal event, states Patrick Burris
Motorsports Marketing Coordinator for Royal Purple. The Powder Puff is the one
race we participate in every year that's not just about winning; it's about
standing up to a terrible disease, honoring those who have it or have had it
and having fun.
The
Cedar Sinai's Breast Cancer Research Center reports that breast cancer is the
most common form of cancer among women in the United States. One study
suggests, that breast cancer is second only to lung cancer in cancer-related
deaths; estimating more than 180,000 women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer this year. In the United States, one out of nine women will develop
breast cancer during her lifetime.
The
Powder Puff Race for the Cure is the largest all women driver event, as well
as one of the overall largest events put on by M.O.R.E and DAMZL Inc., each
year bringing teams in from all over the country. All vehicles in the race
will run a 20-mile loop and compete with vehicles split up into two
different heats.
