Zakowski Motorsports Doubles Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser

Tuesday, January 8, 2013 | 8:45 AM

Menasha, WI:  The racing season has come and gone along with 2012 as we all get back to the daily grind in preparation for the 2013 race season.  As some may know, Zakowski Motorsports has deep roots when it comes to breast cancer and breast cancer awareness, as head racer Zac Zakowski’s mother Linda is a 9 year survivor of the disease.  When October, breast cancer awareness month, rolls around, Zakowski Motorsports goes into full effect to help raise money to be donated to both breast cancer research and other foundations by selling breast cancer addition shirts throughout October.

This year marked a huge success, as ZMS was able to more than double their goal of $3000 with an astonishing $7,320.  Countryside Auto Transport, a local business in Menasha, WI donated all the shirts so that every penny of the sales could be given away.  ZMS was also lucky enough to have the McGill Mafia and DeRisi Racing offer to donate their earnings to the effort, adding an additional $320 to bump the total donation to $7,640.

The funds earned will be divided and distributed equally to the following breast cancer foundations. 

  1. Faith Alliance, Inc., Crawfordsville, IN
  2. Spiering Cancer Foundation, Little Chute, WI
  3. American Cancer Society, Green Bay, WI

” I just feel awesome to be raising awareness and donations like this to help someone somewhere.  My family received help when we went through it so I know firsthand how important it is. Â  I am exceptionally proud of my family for being so devoted to this cause and every year they give 150% to raise money and push the awareness.  This GNCC community is so wonderful when it comes to helping those around us, everyone makes a difference” stated Linda Zakowski.

Everyone here at Zakowski Motorsports would really like to thank all who contributed to the effort.  Everyone who bought a shirt, donated money, told a story, and just helped make this happen.  A special thanks goes out to Adam McGill and the McGill Mafia, DeRisi Racing, and Countryside Auto Transport in helping out.  Make sure to keep up with our updates and reports so you don’t miss the chance to help the cause next year with all new shirts and designs.
