The Dale Earnhardt Foundation Plans Raffle and Auctions as Part of Dale Earnhardt Day Activities
Dale Earnhardt fans will have the opportunity to take home some great prizes
and bid on "one of a kind" DEI racing memorabilia during Dale Earnhardt Day
activities planned for April 29 at the corporate headquarters of Dale Earnhardt,
Inc. The fourth annual event celebrates the birthday of legendary race driver
and seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt.
A raffle, silent auction and live auction will be held during the day, with all
proceeds benefiting The Dale Earnhardt Foundation. Five raffle drawings will be
held throughout the day and tickets may be purchased for $3 each or eight for
$20. Prizes include a 1/6 scale remote control #3 race car and a pair of 100
channel trackside scanners. The raffle grand prize is a Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
leather jacket, signed by Dale Jr.
For the collector, a number of special items will be on display and sale to the
highest bidder in both a silent and live auction. The silent auction will
feature six items, including sheet metal from DEI cars signed by the drivers and
Teresa Earnhardt. Fans can also bid on a signed, limited edition Gibson electric
guitar created for the 2003 Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert and a private "behind
the scenes" tour of DEI for four, which also includes lunch in the Trophy Room,
DEI's private dining room, among other items.
Founded in 2002 by Teresa Earnhardt, The Dale Earnhardt Foundation was
established to carry on Dale's name and good works through charitable causes he
supported during his lifetime. In addition to partnerships with Feed The
Children, the Foundation also sponsors The Dale Earnhardt Forest program with
American Forests, which was announced in April of last year, and also continues
support of wildlife preservation. For more information on the Foundaiton's
