Soapbox Champs Get Their First Sponsors

Soapbox Champs get their first sponsors to help them get to the 75th World Championship All American Soapbox Derby, held in Akron Ohio on July 21st.

The Bardin brothers are off to a good start. Thursday, they got a check from James Justice, of James Automotive in San Diego on Imperial Avenue, on behalf of ASCCA. He also gave them a check from PaZzaz.org a “year around targeted academic and enrichment program to enlighten the lives of  children and their families.” The donations are to help them attend the 75th World Championship All American Soapbox Derby, held in Akron Ohio on July 21st.

Their website SoapBoxChamps.com is also featured on KenRockwell.com, a popular website for photography enthusiast. Last year with Ken's help, their website was visited by over 5,000 people from across the U.S and from 74 other countries. Many small donations came in and large donation from Switzerland helped Declan reach his goal. He finished Sixth in the World at that race. This year he and his brother Aidan plan for even better results.

With a small donation you too can help be part of the wining team. Please visit SoapBoxChamps.com and also let them know you "Like" them for Facebook.
