Support Making Strides by Bidding on this Unique Item!

Throughout the months of September and October, Comp-Cal's Sprint Cup Race Car Hood traveled to fundraising events throughout the Carolinas. Breast Cancer survivors who attended these events were very excited to have the opportunity to sign the hood of the car. We are auctioning off the hood of the car to raise money for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Event (for the Charlotte fundraiser). Help make a difference in Breast Cancer research by bidding on this unique item!

ALL Proceeds will go to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Charlotte. *Please note that due to the size of the hood, you will need to come pick up the item at the American Cancer Society's Charlotte office.
