“Not Here For A Long Time, I’m Here For A Good Time”
Inlet NY - Believe it or not, the time is here again for the Sixth Annual Zippy’s Crusade For Kids Charity Snowmobile Ride in Inlet, New York. The event will take place at The Ole Barn on Friday and Saturday, January 27 & 28, 2012. Greg and Nan Zipadelli are fueling up to make it one of the best rides so far. The 2011 Zippy’s Crusade For Kids event allowed us to donate much needed funds to some great organizations and families, including the Shiners Hospitals for Children, the National Transplant Assistance fund, Motor Racing Outreach and the Children’s Homes of Iredell County.
Arctic Cat Inc. will return as our main ride sponsor and provide their World Class Snowmobiles for the celebrities to ride and share their passion. Celebrities this year will include Tony Stewart, 2011 NASCAR Cup Champion, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing and Greg Zipadelli, Competition Direction for Stewart-Haas Racing as well as Crew Chief of the No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet Impala for Stewart-Haas Racing. They bring with them Steve Addington, Crew Chief, Jeff Meendering, Car Chief, and Aaron Kuehn, Crew Member of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet Impala for Stewart- Haas Racing. We are excited about having the championship winning team members coming to the ride. For our Sprint Car race fans, we welcome back Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevy/J&J for Tony Stewart Racing.
For the special position of Emcees for the evening we have our favorite radio announcer and friend to all of our Crusade attendees, The Postman – Steve Post, he is joined this year by a few special guests to carry out the duties including SPEED TV reporter and fellow Better Half Dash racer, Wendy Venturini, as well as television reporter Matt Yocum to help throughout the event, they both have been Crusaders in the past and I know you all will be excited to see them return.
We also have our favorites returning for the event and I know you will give them all a warm welcome, including Frank Stoddard, Owner of FAS Lane Racing, Mike “Magic Shoes” McLaughlin, Jarrad Egert, Scott Zipadelli, Bruce D’Alessandro, Mark Robertson, Todd Foster, Scott “Scooter” Crowell and Bill Byrne. Last year we worked to bring some of our hunting fans into the mix with Drop Zone TV. We again will film for a show and showcase our fans from the hunting community on guest appearances for the episode.
Our event will be filled with fun and exciting auction and raffle items and the opportunity to bid on certain items you maybe can’t live without. Zippy’s Crusade For Kids Charity Snowmobile Event will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday evening with a meet and greet, autograph signing, heavy hors d’oeuvres and raffle prizes. “Showtime” will begin to play at 9 p.m. Snowmobile ride will begin with brunch on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and “take-off” of the sleds will be at 11 a.m. The event will conclude Saturday evening with a full buffet of excellent food, raffles, silent and live auctions and presentation of checks.
Zippy’s Crusade For Kids is a not for profit founded by Greg and Nan Zipadelli to raise funds through community events to donate to help kids in need.
