Westbrook, CT (March 20, 2009): The Racing Against Cancer Program TM
is poised to embark on a new era of fundraising. The popular federally
recognized non-profit organization has been dedicated to the fight
against cancer for over 12 years. After their announcement this week,
the organization stands to increase its reach and scope exponentially.
ShopWurld of Saratoga Springs, NY, an international internet-based
business, has signed on as the title sponsor of the Racing Against
Cancer Program for the 2009 season.
ShopWurld is an internet mall that includes retailers from a host of
categories including apparel, health & beauty, electronics, office
supplies, etc. Over 1,000 well-known retailers are represented
including NASCAR.com Superstores, Home Depot, Toys 'R Us, Dick's
Sporting Goods, Staples, JC Penny, Macy's, Pet Smart and many more.
The start up company has experienced tremendous growth over a
relatively short time with an innovative business model that serves as
a winning alternative in today's technological age and tenuous
economic climate. Currently, ShopWurld has over 10,000 members.
"We are truly excited to be affiliated with ShopWurld.com," said
Director of Operations for Racing Against Cancer, Scott Gregory of
Westbrook, CT. " The program, its beneficiaries, and its benefactors
are especially fortunate to be getting in on the ground floor. The
opportunity that this association brings can be monumental in terms of
exposure and fundraising."
By employing a multi-tiered marketing program, ShopWurld helps
individual consumers generate income while charities like the Racing
Against Cancer Program reap the benefit. When a partner of the
ShopWurld Network shops through the website shopwurld.com, ShopWurld
receives a percentage of the purchase amounts in the form of Store
Payouts. In turn, members earn a commission on all purchases made
through the ShopWurld network while an additional percentage can go to
registered non-profit organizations like the Racing Against Cancer
Program; giving them a share of the over $200 billion online shopping
industry.
The amount ShopWurld receives as a Store Payout depends on the
particular store ranging from 1% to 30%. A portion of the stores pay a
flat fee for a purchase of a service or an enrollment in a program.
When entering the ShopWurld mall, shoppers are redirected to the
store's website. Purchases are completed directly with the store
including payment, shipping, etc. Neither partners nor members are
required to make any investment.
The ShopWurld Network grows as people tell their friends about this
unique opportunity. It's sustained and immediate growth poses an
incredible opportunity for the Racing Against Cancer Program and their
supporters to earn money for causes like the American Cancer Society,
David's House, the Tomorrow Fund, the C.H.A.I.N. Fund and other cancer
related charities.
"ShopWurld is thrilled to be a part of the Racing Against Cancer
Program," said Paul Bardwell, Co-Founder of ShopWurld.com. "In these
trying economic times, if a charity can offer a supporter a way to
give more without affecting their personal budget, everybody wins. Our
sincere hope is that RAC will be able to exceed all their fundraising
goals with the help of our program."
Effective immediately, the Racing Against Cancer team has become a
Gold Network Partner. Supporters of the program are encouraged to join
RAC's Personal Network (using the RAC ShopWurld ID). Members of the
organization will also build their own Personal Networks of other
members and friends.
The success of the program will rest primarily in the hands of its supporters.
"Racers and race fans can help raise money for the Racing Against
Program simply by buying the products they use every day," continued
Grego ry. "ShopWurld is offering the R.A.C. Team and its members the
opportunity to raise enough funds to help R.A.C. set new fundraising
record each and every year in the future."

The partnership with ShopWurld comes on the heels of the announcement
that long-time supporter of the Racing Against Cancer program, the
Foxwoods Resort Casino, citing the hardships of the struggling
economy, would no longer serve as the charities primary sponsor.
A trio of Racing Against Cancer Team members will race under the
ShopWurld banner during the 2009 season including Scott Gregory in the
Truck division at the Waterford Speedbowl in Waterford, CT; Tom Fox in
the Late Model division at Thompson International Speedway in
Thompson, CT; and Kaitlyn Donovan in the SYRA division at Seekonk
Speedway in Seekonk, MA.
COOLLimousine.com has also joined the family of sponsors for the
Racing Against Cancer Program for 2009.
In the coming weeks, the Racing Against Cancer Program will debut a
new website, ShopWurldRacing.com, dedicated to the fundraising and
racing efforts of the team.
