Staff and volunteers at The Carolina Cup Racing Association have a big goal this year — to make charitable contributions that exceed last year’s mark of more than a quarter million dollars.
The fundraising begins with the 81st running of The Carolina Cup, which is set for March 30th, 2013 at the Springdale Race Course in Camden.
“Everybody knows that, in Camden, we tailgate with style, but a lot of folks don’t know that we also tailgate with a heart!” said Teri Leigh Teed, Assistant Director of the CCRA. “When you look at money given to KershawHealth, the Jaycees, the Junior Welfare League along with tickets donated to military families, it comes to more than $250,000.”
