RACING TEAM HELPS TSUNAMI SURVIVORS;
YOU CAN TOO
The CMKXtreme Racing team and driver Jeff Arend are working
with associate sponsor, Vincent Ferrone, owner of V.F. Trucking
Company, and the American Red Cross to aid victims of the
recent Tsunami disaster. Ferrone and business associate,
Marty Ginsberg, are coordinating the relief efforts and
working closely with the Red Cross to make sure that the
contributions they collect are distributed to where they
are needed the most.

Ferrone and Ginsberg collected over $10,000 and over 100,000
pounds of goods, ranging from clothes and canned goods to
medical supplies, after 9/11. Ferrone personally escorted
his trucks to N.Y.U. Medical Center so he could oversee
the delivery of the contributions and was assured that the
relief was reaching the proper destination.
"Right now, we are looking for cash and financial
donations," said Ferrone. "Financial contributions
are the most efficient and expedient way to get the much
needed relief to the victims of this disaster."
