David Hope will ride at this weekend’s O’Reilly NHRA Midwest Nationals to bring awareness of the Breast Cancer of the Ozarks (BCFO). His Vroom Racing Buell will carry the traditional pink ribbon insignia at Gateway International Raceway and beyond.

“My dad and I have been talking about becoming involved in a good cause for quite a while,” explained Hope, “and as we thought of the important ladies in our lives that we care about we decided that we needed to do something to help keep them safe.  There is my mother, my sisters, my special lady, Sonia, aunts, cousins, friends, the women working at our dealership, and they all can be struck down by this deadly killer, breast cancer.  Fortunately, none of them are dealing with the disease at this moment in time, and we’d like to do everything we can to keep it that way.”

The Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks provides local resources for those affected by breast cancer, promotes breast cancer awareness, and provides resources and support for individuals and their families in the southwest Missouri area who are and have been affected by breast cancer and are concerned with women's health issues.  It is the only local organization that provides financial assistance for individuals with breast cancer and their families.

Hope is working to design programs both on and off the race track that will promote breast cancer awareness and education, and already has a Nevada Auto Mall fundraiser planned for August.

“Our family business will be having a fundraiser in August,” Hope said, “which is a time when contributions are traditionally low, to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.  We will be contributing a portion of the cost of every oil change during the entire month.  We will also be selling pink ribbon magnetic decals for the BCFO.  And we are currently looking to develop a program with the race team that will also benefit BCFO.”

The Vroom Racing team will make a stop at the BCFO office in Springfield, MO. on the way to the O’Reilly Midwest Nationals to display the team’s new bike graphics.
