Release Date: 2/4/2010
Las Vegas--Local airline Vision Airlines has been transporting medical personnel and other aid workers to the earthquake battered island of Haiti and bringing orphaned children to safety in the United States for the past two weeks.
Vision Airlines subsidiary, Vision Aviation Racing, will join this important relief effort by partnering with NASCAR and the Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund to encourage donations. VAR’s up and coming superlate model race car drivers, Dusty Davis and Justin Johnson, will compete in the Toyota Showdown this Friday at the Irwindale, CA, Speedway. Their race cars will each carry the message "Haiti Earthquake Relief. Go to www.NASCAR.com" in an effort to bring awareness and donations. The race will be carried live on Speed TV Network, this Friday at 7pm Pacific Standard Time.
Dusty Davis, driver of the VAR 94 car, and Justin Johnson, driver of the VAR 90 car, will also donate a portion of their race winnings to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. Davis said, "We’re lucky to be in the position to help in whatever way we can." Added Johnson, "We just hope everyone will watch the race on Speed TV and then go to NASCAR.com to donate."
Steve Acor, CEO of Vision Airlines, commented, "We have a real sense of family at Vision Airlines. Our employees knew that the Vision family could make a difference by getting medical workers there to help the families of Haiti. It’s really meant so much to all of us to reach out to the families of Haiti. We saw a need and we’ll continue to help out as much as we can."
Donations through NASCAR.com go to the American Red Cross to support emergency relief and recovery to those affected by the January 12, 2010, earthquakes in Haiti.
