Answers ? ? ? ? Honorary Pace Car drivers selected for Bank of America ROVAL 400 Race weekend Two of the nation's foremost advocates of the fi ght against cancer will serve as dignitaries for the inaugural Bank of America ROVAL 400 race weekend Sept. 28-30 on the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. Sherry Pollex, an ovarian can- cer survivor and the longtime partner of defending Monster En- ergy NASCAR Cup Series cham- pion Martin Truex, Jr., will serve as honorary pace car driver for the Bank of America ROVAL 400 on Sept. 30. DeAngelo Williams, a former Pro Bowl running back for the Carolina Panthers, will be the honorary pace car driver for the Drive for the Cure 200 pre- sented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina on Sept. 29 to raise awareness for the fi ght against breast cancer. Pollex will drive the Toyota Camry pace car and lead the fi eld to the green fl ag for the cut- off race in the fi rst round of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs – and the fi rst road-course playoff race in series history. Pollex was fi rst diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2014 and has gone public in her fi ght by establishing sherrystrong.org, a segment of the Martin Truex, Jr., Foundation that specializes in post-remission issues that ovari- an cancer patients often face. "I actually cried when Marcus (Smith, CEO of Speedway Motorsports, Inc.) called me because I was so excited and so honored to be chosen to do it," said Pollex, who missed Truex's Bank of America fall race win last year due to chemotherapy. "It's Ovarian and Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, which is a huge month for me, in the month of September. I've been an advocate for pediatric cancer for the past 12 years through my foundation. With me battling ovarian cancer, it's important for me to bring awareness to my disease. Just to be able to do that in the fi rst ROVAL race in September is going to be awesome. "To be able to drive the pace car for the Bank of America ROVAL 400 is such an amazing honor. To get in there and take 17 turns go- ing 40 miles per hour, it doesn't seem like it would be fast but it feels fast when you can't touch the brake and slow yourself down. I'm hoping that Martin can qualify on the pole for the fi rst ROVAL race and give me a bump down the backstretch. I'm looking forward to the fans coming out to the ROVAL and see- ing how fast it is." In 2006, Williams founded the DeAngelo Williams Foundation – a nonprofi t orga- nization whose mission is to develop and seek initiatives to support the eradication of breast cancer through preventative care and research. Williams lost his mother and four aunts to breast cancer, so awareness in the fi ght against breast cancer weighs heavily on the legendary running back's mind. Driving a pink Toyota Camry pace car autographed by breast cancer survivors will be a special experience for Williams. "It's gonna be amazing," Williams said. "Not because it's pink or because of how much power the car has. If you go around and look at the names of people who signed this car, that's what it's all about. "I know that I'm able to turn left. I know that. I've been under extreme conditions with my wife and kids being in the backseat, so may- be I'm somewhat of an amateur NASCAR driver. It gets a little tougher for me on the ROVAL, because I've got to turn left and right. Just like the drivers, I may experience some diffi culties. I won't have my spotter – which is usually my wife – and I won't have my crew chiefs, which are usually my kids, but I think I can get through this."

State funds back Cleveland County Rescue Mission's progress The Cleveland County Rescue Mission was presented with $127,000 from the State of North Carolina this week. Speaker of the House and Shelby native Tim Moore present- ed Executive Director Michael Gullatte with the ceremonial check at Cleveland County Rescue Mission on Tuesday morning, Sep- tember 25th. Speaker Moore and his staff have visited the Rescue Mission on Buffalo Street on sever- al occasions and is impressed with the work CCRM is doing to build up the community of Cleveland County. "Through supportive services offered at CCRM," said Executive Director, Michael Gullatte, "the Rescue Mission alleviates mil- lions of dollars from state tax payers annually. Speaker Moore's support of our fund request acknowledges the good work we do at CCRM for men, women, and children." During Speaker Moore's visits, he has seen, fi rst-hand the life changes that occur at CCRM and Heart2Heart Place. "This state in- vestment is driven by the success and results the Rescue Mission continues to produce for Cleveland County and hundreds of folks in our community faced with homelessness," Moore said. "I'm excited we have this opportu- nity to support the volunteers and staff at the Rescue Mission who serve their neighbors in need of help through a diffi cult time." Gullatte points out "in the three years since CCRM has served Cleveland and surround- ing counties with 24/7 services, we have giv- en second chances to more than 1,200 men, women and children, provided over 50,000 nights of shelter, served over 200,000 meals, reunited more than 150 families, in addition to seeing a signifi cant decrease in Emergen- cy Room visits, as well as panhandling and loitering." Cleveland County Rescue Mission operates a mission at 1100 Buffalo Street for men and a facility at 301 N. Washington Street for wom- en and women with children; as well as transi- tional homes in the area. Between the various facilities, CCRM served 410 individuals last fi scal year, provid- ing over 13,000 nights of shelter. More than 78,000 meals were served or distributed to the community and more than 75% of clients secured gainful employment. Currently, 95% of residents at the men's mission are em- ployed and the Adult Basic Education as well as workforce development classes that meet daily are fuller than ever. Gullatte added, "Cleveland County Rescue Mission believes in second chances. Each one of us has a story of redemption and grace and CCRM is the lifeline of opportunity for those facing homelessness to get connected to resources and experience God's grace and mercy. We love because He fi rst loved us. We help because we are commissioned to do so, and we can't resist great comeback stories!" Cleveland County Rescue Mission is a non-profi t, faith-based organization dedicated to providing 24/7 food, shelter, and supportive services to men, women, and children who are homeless or at-risk of becoming home- less.
