ROCKINGHAM DRAGWAY
TO HOST EVENT FOR HOMELESS SHELTER |
|
|
|
|
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. – Rockingham Dragway, in
collaboration with local car and bike clubs, will
host a special charity event on Saturday, Sept. 4,
to benefit the Baker House homeless shelter and
soup kitchens in Rockingham and Hamlet governed by
the RC Mental Health Society, Inc.
Presented by the Playaz Elite, Ol Skool Tribe and
Carolinas Finest car and bike clubs, the event
will feature show cars, show bikes, drag racing in
two classes, live bands and
activities for the kids.
According to Rockingham Dragway owner Steve
Earwood, all profits, including those from
concessions, will be donated to the Baker House
Homeless Shelter and the Rockingham and Hamlet
Soup Kitchens. Earwood and his staff are donating
their time as well as
the use of their facility.
“We have been blessed with a good season and I
feel it is our obligation as responsible stewards
of the community to assist the shelter and the
kitchens,” Earwood said. “Frankly, I was appalled
to learn the shelter would be unable to open due
to a lack of funds. This is the least we can do
for those who are less fortunate,” Earwood
continued. “I hope the money we are able to raise
through this event will encourage others to step
forward
for this good cause.”
The Baker House, that shelters 30 homeless men
from October through March yearly, is the only
homeless shelter for men in Richmond County. It
currently faces closure in the absence of
government grants that were not extended this
year. The same is true for the soup kitchens that
feed over 100 persons with a prepared meal each
day they are open Monday through Friday in both
their Hamlet and Rockingham locations year round.
Baker House Executive Board Member Rene Rohleder,
who like every other staff member and director is
a volunteer, hopes that the Sept. 4 event will
call attention to
this critical need situation.
“We not only wish to sustain and maintain the
kitchens and the shelter,” Rohleder said. “We also
hope to expand our shelter services to homeless
women and children as we experience increased
needs for our assistance. Unless we raise the
currently needed $20,000, the shelter will not
only be unable to open this Fall but be unable to
expanded services to the communities hungry and
homeless.”
Spectator gates will open at 12 noon on Sept. 4
and the event is scheduled to conclude at 10 p.m.
The car and bike show will award first, second and
third place trophies in 10 different
classes with judging performed by the presenting
car and bike clubs. Registration for the car and
bike show will begin at 1 p.m. The drag race
portion of the event, featuring Insane Performance
Real Street and the H&R Performance Open Comp
classes, will begin at 6 p.m.
Adult admission is only $10. Kids 12 and under
will be admitted without charge when accompanied
by a ticketed adult. Entry into the car and bike
show is $20, including the driver, and time runs
down the Rockingham Dragway quarter mile also are
only $20, driver included.
