Magnus Racing No 45 team takes on new challenge for B+ Foundation

Wilmington, DE - To celebrate the 3rd anniversary of their B+ Racing program, Al Carter and Hugh Plumb are pleased to announce that they will co-drive the No. 45 Magnus Racing Porsche GT3 in the GT class at the upcoming Rolex 24 At Daytona with Mark Boden, Charlie Putman and Charlie Espenlaub.

Magnus Racing won the 2012 Rolex 24 in the GT class and Al Carter and Hugh Plumb are excited by their chances to finish on the podium of the grueling 24 hours endurance race. This will be Al Carter’s 2nd Rolex 24 At Daytona participation and Hugh Plumb’s 9th participation.

Carter and Plumb decided to use their 2013 Rolex 24 At Daytona racing program with Magnus Racing to design a fund raising program to raise money for one of the most recognized and fastest growing childhood cancer foundations, The B+ Foundation.

The program is named “B+ FOUNDATION CHALLENGE” and the goal is to raise $100,000 starting today and during the week of the Rolex 24. “The B+ Foundation Challenge” has already received the support of Eagle Tech, Jetset Magazine, MOMO and Motorsport.com.

Carter, Plumb and The B+ Foundation are hoping for direct donations from the fans and from corporate auto racing industry leaders and new companies interested to add this program to their social mission and make a donation to help in the fight against childhood cancers. 100% of the contribution will go to The B+ Foundation and donations are tax deductible. The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation is an IRS-certified 501(c) 3 organization.

The B+ Foundation has put a text fund raising program in place. By Texting the word “FIGHT” to 80 000 anyone can make a straight $10 donation to B+. The goal is for everyone to spread the word to help and encourage their friends, colleagues, clients, prospects, employees, etc., to donate.

46 kids are diagnosed with cancer every day and thanks to foundations like The B+ Foundation, more money can be raised to find a cure for childhood cancers. Two of The B+ Foundation objectives are: 1/Do Good by providing financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer through “The B+ Family Assistance Program”. The B+ Foundation has helped thousands of families nationwide with over $1 million in assistance in the last two years. 2/Do Good by funding childhood cancer research in search of cures and advancements in chemotherapy. B+ has awarded grants of over $500,000 over the past two years.
