The kids at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital have great fans in the champions at Stronghold Motorsports.
On Thursday, a check for $75,000 was presented to Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital by the Stronghold Motorsports organization, reflecting the money raised by the off-road racing community, sponsors, supporters and matching contributions to the “Racing for the Cause” campaign.
With an all-star lineup featuring seven-time Supercross champion Jeremy McGrath; ESPN X Games TV personality and off-road racing star Cameron Steele; short course champion Rob Naughton; and Brandon Bailey. Stronghold Motorsports has quickly risen to the elite ranks of the high-intensity world of off-road racing.
Last year, the Riverside-based Stronghold Motorsports organization initiated the “Racing for a Cause” campaign to benefit the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. The awareness campaign included a visit to the hospital by the Stronghold Team, in addition to Off-Road Night with the Ontario Reign hockey team. The Racing for the Cause campaign continues, and donations of $10 can be made by texting KIDS to 27722.
Many thanks to the Stronghold Motorsports organization and members of the off-road racing community!
