Donations for MCFC were raised a variety of ways with the first being pink backgrounds from Stuk MX Graphix. The official graphic sponsor of GNCC provided specialty graphics for both ATVs and bikes. Front number plates resulted in a $5 donation, while a full set of front and side backgrounds included a $10 donation. Background sales stemmed a $420 donation. In addition, Stuk MX sold exclusive GNCC breast cancer awareness stickers for a minimum of a $1 donation that raised over $273 dollars. 

Just before the ISDE World Trophy Presentation took place on Saturday night the custom pink backdrop was auctioned off to Adam White with Sauk Valley Builders Inc. Adam’s $3500 contribution was matched with $3600 from Racer Productions resulting in a total of $7,100. 

Zakowski Motorsports conducted their own fundraiser which included t-shirts, special pink gear and autographed 4x4 Pro jerseys. Their initial goal of $20,500 was surpassed with a final total of $21,335. Orders are still being conducted for the t-shirts, and can be placed through sending the Zakowski Motorsports Facebook page a message. The amount will be split between the American Cancer Society, MCFC, Pink Ribbon Riders and the Spierings Cancer Foundation. Zakowski Motorsports is also seeking a fifth group to add to the donation list. 

“At the end of Sunday afternoon at Ironman, we not only reached our goal, but actually exceeded it,” said Linda Zakowski.  “We raised $20,600 at the event, but thanks to Mike Chirdon and his company we were able to add $735.00 making our grand total $21,335. We’d like to extend a special thanks to GNCC Racing, ‘Big’ John Knox, Spider Graphix and all of our loyal customers that support us each and every year! Also, thanks to the race families, friends, survivors and families of those who have gone through this rotten disease, and thank you Ironman! We wouldn’t be able to raise this money without your support.”
