Seventeen year old Megan Reitenour from Miamisburg, Ohio was invited as a celebrity driver for the SICSA Red Dog Racers Charity Auction, that benefits SICSA of Dayton Society for the improvement of conditions for stray animals. SICSA is a private non-profit animal welfare group dedicated to saving homeless cats and dogs, preventing the euthanasia of adoptable companion animals and nurturing the human animal bond through humane education.
This charity event is scheduled this year on October 8, 2008, and will take place at the Quaker Steak & Lube restaurant in Fairborn, OH. This event will be emceed by Motorsports announcer and WHIO News Talk Radio Personality, Tom Michaels. Racing memorabilia, live action and celebrity driver autograph session will be some of the festivities that take place.
All of the proceeds from this event will go to SICSA's Spay Neuter Program to help animals lead healthier lives and also help control pet over-population. In the past 4 years this event raised nearly $13,000.
Reitenour said, "I really look forward to this event. I love animals and like to be involved in any way to give our loveable four legged friends an improved way of life." To learn more about SICSA or for donations go to www.sicsa.org.
