According to Ryanne Haditsch, executive assistant for the Shining Stars Foundation, "I think the combination of race cars, fireworks and celebrities is enough to keep any kid interested. Plus, the racing crowd is one we haven't touched yet. This is the perfect opportunity to spread the word and raise awareness for childhood cancer and life-threatening disease." Tickets are $10; for more information, race over to www.shiningstarsfoundation.com.
