Daniel F. Haft, director of the Joseph C. and Esther Foster Foundation, wrote, “I am pleased to enclose a contribution of $5000 from the Foster Foundation to the Roadracing World Action Fund for 2003. For the second year in a row, we welcome this opportunity to be a part of your organizations’ effort to bring airfencing and other safety measures to the sport of motorcycle racing around the country.” The Foster Foundation’s total contribution to the Action Fund now stands at $15,000, making it the second-largest contributor behind the Lockhart Phillips USA Project Bike Raffle.
