The Laughlin Family Foundation partners with NASCAR driver Ryan Ellis and Tom and TJ Keen of Keen Parts (CorvetteParts.net) to help support the fight against women’s cancers

Oct 11

The Laughlin Family Foundation is very excited to announce their partnership with Tom and TJ Keen of Keen Parts (CorvetteParts.net) in conjunction with Keen’s current sponsorship with NASCAR driver Ryan Ellis to raise awareness and provide funding for women’s cancers in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The campaign, set to begin on Monday October 11th, will extend through race day on October 30th, 2021 at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia.

During the duration of the campaign, fans who donate $30.00 or more will get their name, or a name of their choice, on Ellis’ CorvetteParts.net racecar. Fans can also show their support by recognizing someone who has been affected by cancer through the $30.00. For a $150.00 donation, fans will not only be able to get their name on Ellis’ car, but also on the 1:24 limited edition diecast signed by Ryan Ellis and Craig Laughlin which be shipped to each donor who spends $150.00 or more (ETA for diecast production is 7-8 months). Donations can be made here. Profits from the initiatives will be split 50/50 between The Laughlin Family Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

In addition, VIP experience tickets for the October 30th race will be available for auction, as well as Ellis’ race worn suit. Limited corporate/ individual sponsorships are also available through donation on the quarter panel of the racecar starting at $1,000.00 for increased branding opportunities. Please email courtney@thelaughlinfoundation.org or ryanellisracing@gmail.com to inquire.

CorvetteParts.net, a family-owned business owned by Tom and TJ Keen, sells parts and accessories for Corvette-lovers of all generations. They have been loyal NASCAR sponsors and friends of many within the industry since 2014, supporting drivers of all levels since then. The Keen’s elected to donate much of their sponsorship space to these foundations to raise money for these great causes.

“Keen Parts is honored to team up with both the Laughlin Family Foundation and the Susan G. Komen organization in their quest to help fight cancer. We’re hoping that this will get a massive push and hope fans will help us raise money for everything that these fine charities do, “ stated Teresa Keen of CorvetteParts.net.

Ryan Ellis, driver of the No.99 CorvetteParts.net racecar said of the event, “It says so much about Tom and TJ [Keen] that they donated these pieces of their sponsored racecar to these causes….My mother-in-law battled breast cancer and is currently in remission, and after hearing about Craig and Linda’s [Laughlin] story, the Keen’s offered to split the car for both causes which is so cool. We want to highlight all women’s cancer with this effort and I hope we can use the combined NHL, NASCAR, and extended media platforms to raise as much money as possible.”

“We are thrilled that Tom Keen at Corvetteparts.net and Ryan Ellis reached out to us about this collaboration to help support and put an end to women’s cancers. We are so excited to be a part of this,” said Craig Laughlin of The Laughlin Family Foundation.
