Beginning with the 30th annual MOPAR Mile High NHRA Nationals in Denver, John Force Racing will be
supporting the Los Angeles-based Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program with specialty decals on
their quartet of Ford Mustang Funny Cars. The decals will help raise awareness for an organization
where John Force Racing's outside general counsel, Michael Sherman, serves on the Board of
Directors.
"Michael brought this foundation to my attention and I thought it was really doing some great work.
This kind of cancer, the kind that attacks kids, really gets me. We see a lot of kids and families
at the races that have been affected by cancer. If putting a decal on my Ford Mustangs will help
them get more attention and maybe some more donations then that is the least I can do," said John
Force, President and Owner of John Force Racing, Inc.
"We are talking with Bogart about doing something more than just the decals, too. I know my girls
Ashley, Brittany and Courtney have talked about going and touring the facility and visiting some of
the kids soon," added Force.
"I became involved with the Bogart Program after my own daughter, Dr. Courtney Sherman, was a
summer Medical School intern in the pediatric brain cancer program at Children's Hospital Los
Angeles. The work done at the Bogart Laboratories is inspiring and I am so excited that John Force
Racing has joined the Bogart team to help kids beat pediatric cancer," Sherman said.
The Bogart Pediatric Cancer Research Program raises vital funds to support early stage pediatric
cancer research at the Bogart laboratories located at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. These funds
are matched many times over by government and private dollars to allow the maximum support for this
important research. The Bogart Program is dedicated to supporting "bench to bedside" research to
find cures and treatments for these diseases and to enhancing the quality of life of the children
who survive them. For additional information visit http://www.bogartfoundation.org.
John Force Racing will be competing at the 30th annual MOPAR Mile High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere
Speedway beginning on July 10th-July 12th. Currently Ashley Force Hood, daughter of John Force and
driver of the Castrol GTX Ford Mustang, is No. 1 in the Funny Car Full Throttle point standing. She
is joined in the Top Ten by John Force and the Castrol GTX High Mileage Ford Mustang (No. 8) and
Mike Neff in the Ford Drive One Mustang (No. 9).
