All presenting donors in the months of May and June will receive a short-sleeved racing T-shirt (while supplies last) and will be entered into a
drawing for two tickets to the 2008 Daytona 500, hotel and travel accommodations included. Plus, donors who donate three times
during the entire campaign (May – October) will be entered into a raffle for a $500 American Express Gift Card!
