If you haven’t yet pledged to be part of the Baja1000 team, you can now through the finish of the race: www.DrivenToFightCancer.com. “The American Cancer Society is ecstatic to work with Driven to Fight Cancer and Driven Experiences. Together, we look forward to finishing the fight against cancer and celebrating more birthdays,” said Christi Erickson, vice president of corporate and distinguished partners at the American Cancer Society.
“We are excited to see the green flag and race into Baja! We have already put a lot of miles on the truck between the IMEX Show, SEMA Show and the Cattle Baron’s Ball to arrive here in Baja with another warm welcome. Everyone at some level is affected by Cancer, and it has become even more obvious as we talk to those around us,” said Chuck Dempsey, Driven Experiences Race Director. “We really want people to join our team and cheer us on for the Baja 1000. We are all campaigning for the same thing: A Cure. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s donations and time to help spread the message.”
To add another level of appreciation towards your donation, Driven to Fight Cancer has added a set of podium gifts.

The second email randomly picked will win a one-day Driven Experiences school opportunity, and the third email randomly picked will receive a Go-Pro Hero4 camera.
