As Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicks off, Stieh and Owen Racing are proud to announce the successful conclusion of their recent sticker fundraiser, which raised a total of $1,085.00 for breast cancer awareness and research. This initiative took place in the lead-up to the Topless Nationals in Ogilville, MN, scheduled for October 17th and 18th, where both teams will participate in the festivities.
Motivated by loved ones affected by the disease, Kat Stieh (#25 street stock) and Selena Owen (#34 hornet) were driven to take action within their racing community. Throughout the summer, they initiated the fundraising efforts during various race nights, encouraging dirt track enthusiasts to contribute. For a $5 donation, supporters received a limited-edition sticker featuring the phrase "all guts, no nuts, all chesticals" and were entered into a draw for a chance to win a special basket of items.
"Dirt track fans and racers are incredibly generous," said Kat Stieh. "We are grateful for everyone who participated and helped us raise awareness for such an important cause." The racing community has long been known for its tight-knit, supportive nature, and this fundraiser was no exception. With the fundraiser concluding just as breast cancer awareness month began, the timing of the event only heightened the sense of urgency and importance surrounding the cause.
The funds raised will go directly to the Northern Cancer Fund for Breast Cancer. Making a meaningful impact in the fight against the disease. Both Kat Stieh and Selena Owen extend their heartfelt thanks to their supporters and look forward to making a difference as they head into Topless Nationals.
