Checkered Dreams (Sherrills Ford, NC ~ LKN)

Checkered Dreams

Checkered Dreams Children’s Charity was founded in 2003 by Sue Ziegler. This non-profit organization was established to connect kids, six to eighteen, with the victory lap they deserve. During this time Sue lived in Pennsylvania but since 2006 her family and she have resided in the Sherrills Ford area.

Coming from a family big in racing and feeling a need to give back Sue heard of a similar organization in Ohio and decided to take the idea and spin it off to make it their own. The idea is to give sick or handicapped kids (including the entire family) a fun-filled night at a local racetrack and a break from being sick and having to deal with the day-to-day of the illness.

Kids not only get to watch a race but in most cases they become a part of the race event. Autographs from drivers and getting their pictures taken in the pit area are all a part of this event. Sometimes kids get to be a part of announcing and are able to say those famous words, “Gentlemen, start your engines!” The child and family get admitted to the racetrack free and get the total VIP treatment!

Sue takes whatever donations she can get. Drivers often donate their used helmets. Sue cleans and repaints them and has drivers autograph them. What a nice memento for the child to take home in remembrance of the event.

So if you know a child or have a child who is handicapped or has a serious illness and loves racing, please contact Sue for a Checkered Dreams night at the racetrack.

DENVER is CLOSE TO SEEING ~ SALLY'S YMCA ~ (LAKE NORMAN, NC)

Denver is getting a YMCA ~ Sally's Y

Denver is in the process of getting a YMCA! It is something that I have heard since they finished the Lincolnton YMCA several years ago; even with the rapid growth in the Denver area there wasn't an urgency until David and Jo Clark got involved.

On April 4, 2004, their only daughter Sally McKenzie Clark and her cousin Anna Grace Jordan were tragically killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Both girls were only 19 at the time, with a lifetime of plans and dreams ahead of them.

After Sally's death, her family and friends decided to create a lasting memorial in her honor. They wanted to not only remember her life, but they also wanted to celebrate what she loved. With Sally's love of God and passion for sports and the outdoors Sally's parents came up with the idea to build a YMCA in her name. Included will be a Chapel in Anna Grace Jordan's name. Jo Clark and other members of Grace's family have contributed the money for the memorial.

With this David and Jo Clark have donated about 50 acres off of Optimist Club Road at the new four-lane Highway 16; said to be worth around $1,000,000 for the proposed site. Along with this they are donating their share of the wrongful-death lawsuit settlement estimated at $283,000. YMCA supporters have already raised close to $6 million of the $7 million they need to raise before construction on the building can begin.

The next scheduled fundraiser for Sally's Y. Will be a dinner theater; the event is the play "Chicago" which will be presented by Grant Ewing and the Verdict Ridge Backyard Players.

The Dates: September 19 - 20, 2008
Time: 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Verdict Ridge, Denver, NC
Event Cost: TBD
Contact Info: (704) 489-6881
