Goodyear raises $20K for NASCAR charity

July 25, 2007

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s "Get There" charity auction has raised $20,000 for the NASCAR Foundation and affiliated charities.

The auction gave NASCAR fans the chance to bid on 43 authentic Goodyear Eagle tires autographed by top NASCAR drivers.

In addition, Goodyear was named a "Champion Friend of the Foundation" for the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup season, "the highest level of participation that can be achieved by a one-time donor," say Goodyear officials.
