Drivers, musicians, actors team up for charity.

Current Winston Cup star Jeff Green and his racing brother Mark have orchestrated a blockbuster charity event to be held at the Wachovia Atrium in Charlotte on the evening of February 19, 2003.

The Green Foundation's first annual dinner, dance and auction, 'Rock into Racing,' will include appearances from several Winston Cup drivers including 2002 Winston Cup Champion Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth, who led all drivers with five wins in the 2002 season. Honorary chairs of the event will be Pattie Petty and Hollywood star Michael Rooker, who appeared in "Days of Thunder."

Neal McCoy, two-time country music entertainer of the year, will provide a live performance adding to the evening's ambience. Auction items include a trip for two to the 2004 Daytona 500 including VIP credentials, a beautiful evening gown worn by the fabulous country music artist, Faith Hill, and driver uniforms signed by Tony Stewart, Dale Jarrett, and many others.

Open to the public, several different packages are available with tables of 10 available for $1,250 and regular seats costing $100 per ticket. Time Warner Cable, AOL Time Warner, Wachovia Corporation, KAT Country and Bennett's Smokehouse & Saloon Catering have graciously provided sponsorship for the event.

The Green Foundation will distribute the proceeds from the event to the Victory Junction Gang Camp, founded for kids by Kyle and Pattie Petty in honour of Adam Petty. The mission of The Victory Junction Gang Camp is to enrich the lives of children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses by creating camping experiences that are memorable, exciting, fun, empowering, physically safe and medically sound.

Founded in 2002 by NASCAR superstar drivers and brothers Jeff Green and Mark Green, The Green Foundation is a comprehensive charitable corporation established to assist other tax-exempt organizations that support one of the following three major areas:

Those that nurture and inspire at risk youths to pursue their dreams through the development of leadership skills, intellectual abilities, positive attitudes and family values.

Those that involve motorsports such as organizations that support injured drivers

Those that involve terminally ill children.
