2010 is going to be a good year. As the calendar comes to a close and you are thinking about organizations for year-end donations, we ask that you consider supporting the MSHFA in its quest to preserve the history and advance the values of American motorsports. In 2009, challenges came to the Hall of Fame in waves – often, and from many angles. All were met with an energy and passion that can only happen when there is a worthwhile purpose. The economy was tough on individuals, businesses, and especially nonprofits. We were determined to forge ahead because the values we stand for – leadership, teamwork, innovation and competitive spirit – are more important than ever in hard times. We were blessed once again with an extraordinary group of inductees. Relationships built over the years showed their strength when companies dipped as much as they could into newly limited budgets to support the event. Many people donated time and services. The result was one of the most meaningful and inspiring Induction Ceremonies in Hall of Fame history. Later in the year, a chain of person-to-person recommendations led to our new relationship with the Detroit Science Center. At the DSC, we will be part of a world-class museum operation. For many years, a key segment of the Hall of Fame’s mission statement has been the encouragement of careers in science and technology through the colorful and exciting inspiration of motorsports. This part of what the Hall of Fame is all about will be greatly enhanced and gain unprecedented vitality in 2010. To be able to continue pursuing such important objectives, we must depend on our friends and believers in the cause. As someone who is interested in the work of the Hall of Fame, your financial support is vital. This is the time of year that we ask folks to make or renew a commitment to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America and the values it represents. We trust that you feel our mission is a worthy one. Your monetary contribution is the best statement of support for that mission you can possibly make. Click here to make a tax-deductible donation. Please give generously. Keeping the legacy of American motorsports alive depends on it. Best wishes for a Happy New Year from the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America!
Save the date: August 25, 2010 The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America will honor its new class of Inductees on August 25, 2010. The 22nd Annual Induction Ceremony will be held once again at the historic Fillmore Detroit.
