Racing Event on August 7 to Raise Funds for Hillside Children’s Center in RochesterVictor, New York (August 3, 2009) – REDCOM Laboratories Inc., a company that designs and manufactures the world’s most reliable digital and IP-enabled telecommunications systems, announced today that it is a sponsor of a race car during NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series weekend at Watkins Glen International, August 6-9. Local driver John Weisberg of BERG Racing, Webster, NY, will be driving the Battery Tender Pontiac GTO-R race car of MCM Racing at the Grand-Am Rolex Series Crown Royal 200 on August 7. Weisberg will be racing to raise funds for the Hillside Children's Center in Rochester, NY. Hillside Children's Center has served youth with emotional, behavioral, and mental challenges for decades. These services include therapeutic foster care, adoption, residential, day treatment, juvenile justice, developmental disabilities, independent living, and school-based services. Both the Hillside and REDCOM logos will be displayed on the GTO race car, along with the Battery Tender logo. Thanks to a generous contribution from Weisberg, 20 kids from the Hillside Children’s Center will attend the racing event as part of an organized field trip. "Having the Hillside logo on the car will give the kids who are attending the race a direct connection to the action on the track," said Weisberg. "Our company is proud to be a sponsor of this effort," said Klaus Gueldenpfennig, President, REDCOM. "Hillside does tremendous work in our community and I urge you to provide your generous support to this fundraising effort. Every dollar counts and will have a positive impact on the lives of children in our area who are in need of your assistance." "Our children are thrilled to attend this event and have a particular car and driver to cheer for," said Tom Hildebrandt, President of Hillside Children’s Foundation. "We are also grateful to our partners at BERG Racing and REDCOM for the prominent placement of Hillside in the race." Contributions can be made at the online pledge site. The site will calculate the number of laps completed, multiplied by the dollar amount pledged. All of the proceeds will go to Hillside Children's Center. Pledges can also be made by calling (585) 256-7660.
