From a press release:

The 16th Annual Wegman Benefit Fund Auction will be held Saturday July 20, 2002 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, IL.. The event is held in conjunction with Championship Cup Series Midwest Region road races.

The annual event raises money to assist seriously injured road racers who have been injured in competition.

We are currently seeking donations for our auction. Many of you may have already received letters or e-mails from us or will in the near future. We sincerely hope you will find a way to send us something.

Since 1987 the Fund has assisted 38 racers with over $112,000 paid for medical bills and assistance insurance wouldn’t cover. Most recently we helped Tim Miller, the Ricky Lundgren and Tyson Berger families and we are currently working with Matt Hartlieb, Luis Garcia and John Wascow.

Look for our new trailer in the pits at the AMA National at Road America. Stop by to pick up a Wegman Fund shirt, drop off a donation for the auction or just drop a few dollars in the Fund.
