Gearing up for its seventh year, the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation announced that tickets are now on sale for the annual Catwalk for a Cause event, a childhood cancer fundraiser.
The fundraiser takes place May 18 in downtown Mooresville, North Carolina, and this year the event is beach-themed. Fans should make sure to snag their tickets quick because they've been known to sell out.
"People start asking about tickets in October," Truex Jr. said. "We sold out last year at 600 and we hope to have the same success this year. We don't focus on the dark side of cancer. We focus on living in the moment and letting these kids shine."
Catwalk celebrates its seventh year, with money raised going to support childhood cancer initiatives at Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina. It also helps to drive awareness and funding through efforts within the NASCAR community and with their involvement in the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer nationally, and the Rare Cancer Coalition, newly formed with partner foundations across the Carolinas.
This year, the foundation is proud to announce that the event will be sponsored by Nature's Bakery -- a sponsor of Danica Patrick in the Sprint Cup Series.
"We could not be more excited to have Nature's Bakery as a partner for Catwalk," Sherry Pollex, foundation vice president and co-founder of Catwalk, said. "Danica was a crowd favorite last year and to have Nature's Bakery support her and support us in this way is extraordinary."
