KNOXVILLE, Iowa (May 29, 2013) – Knoxville Raceway is proud to partner with Pella Windows and Doors for the second annual Racing to a Cure for Diabetes Night on Saturday, June 1, to help raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in its race for a cure for type 1 diabetes. 

For every $15 adult general admission ticket purchased that night with a Pella Corp/JDRF coupon, Knoxville Raceway will donate $5 to the Greater Iowa JDRF Chapter to help fund type 1 diabetes research. Coupons are available at http://www.greateriowa.jdrf.org/event/pella-corporation-race-night-for-jdrf/ or may also be picked up at the JDRF table outside the main grandstand the day of the race. All teens and children gain free admission! 

“It’s a priority for us to give back to the community and our collaboration with Pella and JDRF is a great way for us to help the important cause of finding a cure for type 1 diabetes,” says Brian Stickel, Knoxville Raceway general manager. “We’re looking forward to a fun night at the races and raising money for a cure.”
