Scio, Oregon- Wednesday, April 4th would be a special day for Steve and Andrea Moore at the 2018 Victory Visit. Their race team, Xtreme Motorsports, would donate approximately $6,000.00 to Shriner’s Children Hospital in Portland towards pediatric cancer research. The money was raised by selling “Racing For Life” window ribbon stickers throughout the course of the 2017 race season.
“Andrea and I wanted it to go to anything they do involving childhood cancer research,” commented Steve Moore, “we’re so glad that we can help these kids out. Unfortunately, I was ill but I was glad that Andrea could make it and be a part of the Victory Visit.”
“I want to send out a huge shout out to my wife Andrea who was such a big part of handling all of the sales at the track. Also, this would not be possible with all of the help from Loren and Val Kruesi as well as the entire Xtreme Motorsports crew. In addition, I want to thank all the racers and fans who donated whether they have or have not been effected by cancer in their lives.”
In 2018 the Moores will shift their focus to raising awareness to suicide prevention. Although no plans are in the works at this moment for a fundraiser they will be handing out literature to help prevent suicides in the local community.
“Unfortunately, both my wife and I have lost people to suicide and we want to help folks out and prevent these terrible things from happening.”
Xtreme Motorsports will still be selling “Racing For Life” window sticker ribbons and those will go to a cancer charity while supplies last. Purchases can be made at the track where Steve Moore is racing or by contacting him at (541)-990-8087.
