Just ask our good friends at Blue September.
Our partnership has generated over $10,000 to help raise awareness for cancer in men.
Along with the Battle of the Blues challenge, funds were raised through donations and sales of 'Blue' wristbands. Ace Karts also donates $20 to Blue September every time a driver achieves a lap time of 37 seconds or less.
