Community Supports 'Drew's Voice' Our Voice Fundraiser
A sea of blue t-shirts, local musicians, car lovers and community members gathered Sunday to remember teen suicide victim Drew Ferraro. The foundation fundraiser included hundreds of people who attended to support the Ferraro family and community.
Following Drew Ferraro's suicide at Crescenta Valley High School , Ferraro's parents John and Deana read Drew's journal and discovered he was bullied by students at CVHS.
The family began a foundation in his name, Drew's Voice, to prevent bullying in the community and start discussion about teen suicide. Locals were invited to stop by Leo's All Star Sports Bar Sunday to remember the teen and support the new foundation .
Classic car owners volunteered in an automobile show featuring a monster truck, motorcycle, Volkswagen Beetles and Mini Cooper, among other cars. Locals donated items for a silent auction, including childrens' clothing, candy, childrens' games, facial and spa offers, a bicycle trailer and boogie board.
NASCAR lots of fun, if you know where to look
Sorry.
The day ends with Kevin Harvick running out of fuel ("I was a lap short."), Denny Hamlin botching his victory burnout ("New surfaces are not my particular forte."), and team owner Joe Gibbs brushing off questions about a man he once employed with the Redskins (Gregg Williams, the NFL's Most Wanted).
Welcome to just another day in NASCAR paradise, where the weather is mostly sensational, where drivers' wives happily disappear into Scottsdale with the charge card, where thousands of fans file in and out of their biannual race, happily resuming the rest of their lives.
NASCAR is not for everyone. Neither is golf. And yet thousands of Phoenicians enjoy the Waste Management Phoenix Open without savoring a putt. So why do so many of us scoff at this sport?
Russ Grimm loves this stuff. He has an RV in the parking lot. Randy Johnson is here, walking around the track, photographing whatever catches his eye.
Johnson is serious about his new endeavor, something Yankees fans will find highly amusing. He's about to travel to Afghanistan on a USO tour, and his work behind the lens has been well-received. Then again, he stands 6 feet 10, a significant boon to a man and his camera.
