The other weekend at the NASCAR race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, there were some awesome events to see. Cars with pink highlights or just doused in pink altogether, various teams were showing support and bringing awareness to the issues of breast cancer.
With ratings of around 4 million viewers, there’s hope some folks will see this campaign and eyebrows will go up. Awareness for a few will become a fact. And that’s cool… every single person who helps the cause can matter.
But during this particular Saturday night race, site visitor Melissa left a comment on my site at NASCAR Campaigns for Breast Cancer Awareness saying:
“Why isn’t there any gear for Nascar Pink Ribbon, Breast Cancer Awareness??? I have searched for over an hour and found nothing. There’s a very unique pink ribbon with nascar in the design. I would love to have a tee-shirt with that on it. Nascar is supporting this cause in so many ways at the track, but has offered nothing for the fans to purchase, and show their support as well. PLEAE MAKE GEAR FOR THE FANS!!”
I never thought of it, but then I started digging around the web looking for anything that NASCAR might be selling to help support the cause. And sure enough, awareness has been bolstered, but I could not find anything for the NASCAR fan to buy to support the cause, except for a few diecasts and a tee-shirt for a Kevin Harvick effort.
That’s it. OH!!! Wait gang! I did find something! Over at The NASCAR foundation, they have a page called NASCAR Unites for Kids Affected by Breast Cancer. They have a lanyard you can snag if you want something.
