Yes, this really IS a public service announcement . . . but it is racing-related, so please read on:

If you live in or near Indianapolis and you're a race fan -- especially an IndyCar, IRL, or CART fan -- you might want to check out the "Cookin' Out for Kids" benefit for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis. This is a benefit backyard barbecue-type cookout that is being held on Thursday, May 1st, 2008, 6:00 pm, at the Brickyard Crossing Pavillion at 4400 West 16th Street. The evening includes guest drivers Will Power and Ryan Hunter-Reay, special guest team owners Michael Andretti and Derrick Walker, and photo opportunities with IRL drivers. The Walker Racing show car will be available for photos, and the Walker Racing Race Transporer will be available for guest tours. Sponsorships and corporate packages are available, and single admission to the event is $150. Proceeds will provide much needed funds to support the youth development strategy program for the Boys & Girls CLubs of Indianapolis.

Lives are transformed every day at Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis.

Your support will have a lasting effect.

I'm not affiliated with Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis, but this is an organization that makes a difference in our world, and they deserve all the support they can get. It's a good cause and it's racing-related -- what better way to get yourself into the swing of things for the month of May and the build-up to this year's Indianapolis 500?
