Headstrong for Jake looking for volunteers at Kansas Speedway this weekend

Our friends over at Headstrong for Jake have a great opportunity on their hands — but they need some help from volunteers this weekend:

On Tuesday night NASCAR Foundation representatives contacted Headstrong for Jake and offered us the opportunity to partner with the NASCAR Foundation at this weekend’s races. We believe this is a terrific opportunity to help raise money for both Headstrong for Jake and the NASCAR Foundation and ask that join us and you consider volunteering your time this weekend to help with these two worthy causes. Details for this weekends planned activities for our volunteers are outlined below. Please email Headstrong for Jake at [email protected] if you are able to help us out for this exciting opportunity. Please include your first name, last name, mobile phone number, email address and dates and time slots you are able to participate. Please also forward this request to your friends who may be interested in helping Headstrong for Jake this weekend.

Volunteer time slots are after the jump.
