Thanksgiving Food Drive Reels In More Than 1,000 Pounds of Food for FISH

SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) – Infineon Raceway made a donation of more than 1,000 pounds of non-perishable food items to Friends in Sonoma Helping (FISH) following the facility’s 2nd annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.

The food will be used by FISH to assist needy Sonoma Valley residents during the 2002 holiday season. Infineon Raceway has generated more than 2,000 pounds of non-perishable food items over the last two years with its Thanksgiving Food Drive. FISH supplied more than 1,900 households with three days of groceries in 2001, and more than 2,500 calls for food requests continue to come in each year.

Those who donated at least three non-perishable food items in 2002 were rewarded with a ticket voucher good for one admission to the raceway’s AMA Supercuts Superbike Challenge qualifying on Friday, May 2 (2003). In addition to Infineon Raceway, other partners in the program were: Destination RKA in Healdsburg, Maverick Media, home to Froggy 92.9 FM, The Fox 101.7 FM and Magic 97.7 KMGG in the North Bay, Sonoma County Mary’s Pizza Shack restaurants and Bay Area Cycle Gear locations.

Next up on the community calendar at Infineon Raceway will be the 2nd annual “High Speed Blood Drive” on Tuesday, Jan. 21, from noon-6 p.m. In association with the American Red Cross and “The Bone (107.7 FM in San Francisco)” Infineon Raceway will open its gates to help the Red Cross meet its blood demands. To help get hearts pumping before giving blood, those who visit the raceway between noon and 5 p.m. will be treated to a rare “hot lap” around the world famous Infineon Raceway road course by a professional racecar instructor.
