DAM Cancer / Fonse Perf to sponsor Doug Foley Maple Grove

Post by iceman »

As many of you may know, Denise Ann Magliocco passed away on February 14th, 2009, after a long fought battle with ovarian cancer. Denise is the wife of Al Sr. and mother to Al Jr. of Fonse Performance based in Erial, NJ. After Denise's passing, Al Sr. started the DAM Cancer Foundation, its purpose being to give newly diagnosed cancer patients complete awareness of the many treatments and options available to effectively treat ovarian cancer. Al chose to launch the foundation at an NHRA race due to his family and business dedication to motorsports.

Doug Foley had parked his Top Fuel Dragster since September 2008, so he could focus on his primary business, Doug Foley's Drag Racing School. Together with the DAM Cancer Foundation and Fonse Performance, Doug Foley along with co-owner Tim Lewis will return to Top Fuel Dragster racing on August 20-23 at the 25th Annual Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals held at Maple Grove Raceway. Regarding the return, Tim Lewis was quoted saying, "We're honored to represent this noble cause and could not have picked a better partner for our first race of the year."

Image Fonse Performance has been building high performance motors for drag racing and the marine world since 1970. You will find Al Jr. and the Fonse team racing their Black Camaro in 8.50 Index programs throughout the Northeast Division. A web site for the DAM Cancer Foundation is in progress and will be available shortly. Visitors to the web site will have the opportunity to ask questions about Ovarian Cancer and discuss treatment for the disease
