Shortly after the show concluded Sawyer was quick to accept Balzano’s challenge and the “Make-A-Wish Foundation will be the benefactor of their collective generosity.

Sawyer is pleased to be involved and stated, “Mike is a tremendous ambassador for the sport. He understands life issues of family, as well as giving back to the community in an effort to help families in difficult times, especially children which we all hold near to our hearts. Mike and I are both parents and would do anything we could for our children, and to that end, we want to help other people from our community who’s children are ill with life-threatening conditions. I am very pleased and honored to participate with such a quality individual in such a great endeavor. I hope he wins because it will be a win-win for Make-A-Wish and all there kids,” concluded Sawyer.

Balzano had equally kind words for one of the best short track promoters in the country. “Bill and his entire staff have developed a class facility for us to race at and he treats all of us (MACS and the racers) like an extended family. I knew if I put this challenge out there he would scoop it up in an instant. Now all I have to do is win so we can help these kids,” summarized Balzano.

The Mission of Make-A-Wish Foundation� is "Grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy."

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation� has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.
