Custom Motorcycle to raise money for Victory Junction Gang
Markel American Insurance Company today announced the completion
of the custom Board Track Racer style motorcycle built by Markel
American Associates through its "Markel Builds Fun"
project to raise money for the Victory Junction Gang charity.
Entries to win the motorcycle in a sweepstakes will be accepted
until August 31, 2007 at www.markelbuildsfun.com. No purchase is necessary
to enter, but entrants are encouraged to donate to the Victory
Junction Gang.
"This project was great fun and I can't wait to see the
face of the winner when we present it to them," said builder
and Marine Underwriter, Dale Moldenhauer.
Markel American Associates Tom Conroy, Mark Hoedel and Dale Moldenhauer
built the motorcycle from a rolling chassis kit purchased from
Milwaukee Iron in Lynchburg, VA. Numerous Wisconsin companies
were also involved in the project. Hoban Brothers Cycle Shop
in Newton, WI, Auto Source in Chilton, WI, Custom Designs in
Malone, WI and Innovative Auto Body in New Holstein, WI each
played a key role in seeing this bike through to completion.
The sweepstakes entries will be accepted through August 31, 2007
and the drawing will be held in late September, 2007.
The mission of the Victory Junction Gang Camp, www.victoryjunction.org , is to enrich the
lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious
illnesses by providing life-changing camping experiences that
are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically sound
environment. Founded by NASCAR driver Kyle Petty and his wife
Pattie in honor of their late son Adam, the Victory Junction
Gang Camp is a year-round facility serving children, age 7 to
15. Each summer, children suffering from similar medical conditions
including heart, lung and kidney disease, spina bifida, HIV,
cancer, burn survivors, neurological disorders, and a host of
others, gather to kick back, relax and have some fun.
The Victory Junction Gang Camp, located in Randleman, North Carolina,
is a member of the Association of Hole in the Wall Gang Camps
and is free to children and their families. The camp operates
solely on the generous donations of individuals, corporations
and foundation.
