Foundation Kicks off Can-Am GNCC Race Weekend
SNOWSHOE, W. Va. (September 6, 2008) --
Racer Productions announced today that it's
sponsoring a golf tournament on Friday,
September 12 at the world-renowned Raven Golf
Club at Snowshoe Mountain. The tournament, which

Mountain, which is scheduled for Saturday,

Down's diligent work has helped many racers and
their families recover from injuries and
associated medical costs.
"We've already had several riders and team
managers register for the event," added Cotter.

to kick of the Snowshoe GNCC."
