About CARA:



(CARA Charities) enters a second decade with an outstanding record of charitable contributions and altruistic activities, focusing on children’s causes.



The organization was founded in 1981 with the intent to serve the professional open wheel auto racing community through charitable work and to promote the friendships of all those involved in the motorsports family. From a modest beginning, there are now more than 400 members, representing 50 states and 2 foreign countries.



CARA Charities’ membership is open to fans, and participants of professional open wheel racing.



About the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation:



The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation helps individuals overcome spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders by funding scientific research, medical treatment, rehabilitation and technological advances. The Foundation also raises funds to improve quality of life issues and ensure the best possible outcomes by touching individual lives. (The Foundation is a 501 c 3 organization.)



At the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, we also hold many ‘Racing to Recovery' events across the country to raise funds and awareness of spinal cord injuries. Feel free to check our calendar and attend an event in your area. We are also very proud of our ‘Day at the Races' program, which hosts events at many tracks throughout the year. Here we invite those that have been injured, old or new, along with their families, to come to races for information, inspiration and an afternoon of fun.



We will continue to work tirelessly on advocacy issues including the importance of increased healthcare and publicly funded research, on local and national levels. We realize there is simply no way to accomplish our goals in a reasonable amount of time without the support of federal funding.



The eBay auction will close October 17th at 9 p. m. coinciding with the 2005 Indy Racing League Championship Celebration in Hollywood, CA
