------------- Tyler Brown finds a cause
to race for! -----------
Tyler Brown to use 4B
Racing Dodge Intrepid
to raise funds for CanWest Raise a Reader.
WATERDOWN, ONTARIO – Brown has had to patiently wait for his
14th birthday, so he could finally compete in the Ontario
Pro Challenge series. Finally that day has come. The 4B Racing/Assante
Dodge Intrepid hits the track this Saturday at Peterborough
Speedway, Ontario’s fastest 1/3 mile track. While Brown is
set to make history on the track as the youngest driver ever
to compete in this high speed series a mere 5 days after his
birthday, he also wants to get the most out of his new racer,
both on and off the track.
“Tyler has always wanted to use his racing to help raise funds
for charity,” says 4B Racing team owner Darrell Brown. “This
year was a perfect time, as he is stepping up to cars. This
morning on CH Morning Live in Hamilton, Tyler announced an
initiative to raise money for CanWest Raise a Reader charities.”
“This Charity is near and dear to my heart,” Tyler says. “First,
Raise a Reader is the corporate charity for Assante Wealth
Management, one of my sponsors. Second, when I was younger,
I had trouble reading and comprehending what I was reading.
I was lucky enough to overcome the problem, by working hard
and with extra help. Now it’s time for me to step up and help
others”. But Tyler needed a way to raise funds and that is
where Ken Whiting of Outdoor Travel in Hamilton came in. “I
first met Tyler and his family when he was 8 years old and
racing go karts. When I heard that at age 14 Tyler had it
in his mind to help others, donating the prize was the least
I could do,” said Whiting. “Outdoor Travel has donated a one
week motorhome vacation valued at $1,700.”
Tyler will be making appearances throughout southwestern Ontario,
as well as at the tracks where he will be racing from mid
July until September 10th , promoting the charity and he wants
everyone to enter the draw for the motorhome vacation package.
There is no cost to enter the draw, but he hopes that people
will dig into their pockets and donate to the charity or donate
a gently used book. The draw for the motorhome and the presentation
of a cheque to CanWest Raise a Reader will be done on Saturday
Sept 10th at Flamborough Speedway.
