INDIANAPOLIS Sep 28, 2009: Sarah Fisher, of Sarah Fisher Racing (SFR) and singer/songwriter Danny Woods of the recently reunited New Kids On the Block will host a party at the Miami Beach nightclub, LIV, to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Thursday, Oct. 8.

The public event, which will feature premier entertainment by Ross One, is expected to draw a crowd of celebrities and a handful of Fisher’s fellow IndyCar Series drivers competing the following Saturday, Oct. 10 for the Firestone Indy 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (HMS). All proceeds from ticket sales to the event will benefit Komen for the Cure to fund breast cancer research and community outreach programs.

The party takes place at LIV nightclub, located in the newly renovated Fontainebleau Resort on Miami Beach. Tickets are available online for $30 at http://www.wantickets.com/EventDetail.aspx?e_id=75500 and for $35 at the door. For table reservations, please call 305.674.4680.

The event is part of Fisher’s “On the Track for a Cause” a multi-faceted initiative to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. Fisher will turn all of her branding pink for her season finale race at HMS Oct. 10. Fisher will race in a pink car, wearing a pink firesuit and matching pink helmet designed by her fans. Fisher’s primary sponsor Dollar General will present a donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure at LIV on the pink carpet which begins at 10:00 p.m. EDT.

“We’re so excited to be partnering with Komen to help fight the war on breast cancer,” said Fisher. “This is a disease that touches everyone, and we can’t do enough to help. The party is a fun way to bring attention to our efforts, while raising money for Komen’s programs. Hosting it with Danny Woods is going to be so much fun.”

A big supporter of Komen, Woods has been involved in multiple fundraising events with the world’s largest breast cancer organization. In between touring with his band, running his record label, Damage Records, and producing and writing songs, the singer and choreographer has been doing all he can to help the cause.

“Hopefully this will create awareness and motivate people to join in the fight against this dreadful disease,” said Danny Wood, whose work with Komen for the Cure honors his mother who died from breast cancer 10 years ago. “Women need to be aware of early detection.That was the problem for my mother. By the time she found out, it was too late – and I don’t want that to happen to anyone else when it could be prevented.”

At the Oct. 10 HMS race, Fisher will debut a new No. 67 Dollar General car, a surprise gift from one of the team’s associate sponsors, Hartman Oil.
