Todd Bevis Benefit Sees Packed House, over $27K Raised
Mon, 17 Aug 2009, 09:22 PM
For one very special night, an area of the Cagnazzi Racing shop normally reserved for the
preparation of 200-mph Pro Stock race cars was transformed into a very special meeting place, with
hundreds of people gathering to help a racer in need. The Todd Bevis Benefit, which was held this
past Saturday in Mooresville, NC, drew friends, family members and former teammates from as far
away as Texas and New Jersey, who enjoyed an evening of music, food, drink and companionship in
support of a well-respected member of the motorsports community.
As part of the event, a silent and live auction was held, featuring items ranging from race car
parts and memorabilia from a variety of sanctioning bodies to beach vacations and airplane rides
with the pr oceeds going to offset Bevis' escalating medical costs. Although the tally has yet to
be finalized, it is estimated that over $27,000 was raised. The highlight of the evening, however,
came when Bevis addressed the crowd prior to the start of the live auction. Thanking them for their
support and friendship, he showed the wit and humor for which he is so well known.
With Bevis continuing his fight to "kick cancer's butt", donations are still being accepted. For
