An Event For Charity - The RC Fest! Presented by CowRC!

[Team CowRC]

RC Fest is a charity RC event organized by my 12 yr old son Adam Munds.

A little about Adam. When he was born in Oct. of 2000 he was born sick. He needed platelets in order to live. As a small child he grew to love monster trucks. By going to many monster truck shows his passion for monster trucks then spawned a passion for radio control cars and trucks. We bought him his first truck when he was 6. After a few local friends became interested in radio controls and attended local rc bashes Adam asked me (mom) and his dad if he could host a rc event for his friends to participate in.

We agreed though we wanted to use this as a learning opportunity for him. We encouraged him to donate the money to a local charity of his choice. He came up with Community Blood Services of Illinois because after his birth our family continues to donate blood on a regular basis.

Adam's first year he invested $50 of his own money into RC Fest and made $148. Last year he made $970 and included a blood drive at his event that managed to get 2 1/2 gallons of blood.

This year he wants his show to be bigger, better, and bolder. He is going all out! He wants EVERYONE to know how important it is to donate blood every 56 days. He has appeared on many local tv and radio stations to help spread the word.

He has several sponsors as you can see from the flier above. This year WILL be even better because of the great help from people like Heath. Thank you CowRC.

If you live local and you can make it to the show it is AUG. 10th, It is FREE to enter because he does not want to discourage anyone from being able to take part in the fun.

If you don't live local consider donating blood at your local blood bank. It is the reason behind his race.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your support,
