The Martin Truex Jr. Foundation hosts its biggest event of the year -- "Catwalk for a Cause" -- on Wednesday.
The seventh annual fashion show helps raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer. Sherry Pollex, Truex's longtime girlfriend, plays a strong role in the campaign. She raised the idea in 2010, and the event has taken on new meaning since Pollex's ovarian cancer diagnosis in August 2014.
The event is from 6-10 p.m. ET in Mooresville, North Carolina. Last year's version had more than 600 people attend and raised more than $250,000.
Earlier this month, the NASCAR community rallied around Sherry Pollex on May 10 to send her well wishes on her birthday, a big day for the philanthropist after she completed her final chemotherapy treatment in January. Pollex had an extra special reason to celebrate her day as she launched her website SherryStrong.org -- a platform for her to connect with those affected by cancer.
