WE HAVE A CHARITY! Very Happy

The selected beneficiary for theis year's RycheQuest is The Victory
Junction Gang!

The Victory Junction Gang Camp enriches the lives of children with chronic
medical conditions or serious illnesses by providing life-changing camping
experiences that are exciting, fun, and empowering, in a safe and medically
sound environment.


In June of 2004, Victory Junction Gang Camp proudly opened its doors! The
Camp was founded by Kyle and Pattie Petty, in honor of their son Adam. In
1999, after participating in a motorcycle ride to Camp Boggy Creek in
Florida, the Petty family felt inspired to build a camp in North Carolina.

Surrounded by beautif  ul hardwood forests,  Victory Junction Gang Camp is
located in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. The Camp was built on 72
acres that were generously donated by Richard and Lynda Petty. Victory
Junction Gang Camp has a racing theme with the sights, sounds, look and
feel of a race track! The Camp is comprised of 33 buildings, including the
Goody's Body Shop medical center, the Hendrick Motorsports Fuel Stop dining
hall, the Silver Theater, the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America water
park, Adam's Race Shop, the Michael Waltrip Operation Marathon
Sportscenter, Jessie's Horse Power Garage and much more!

The Victory Junction Gang Camp is a member of the Association of Hole in
the Wall Camps. Actor Paul Newman started the first camp, the Hole in the
Wall Gang, in 1988 and has been a driving force in the Association ever since.

Victory Junction Gang Camp operates solely on the donations of wonderful
corporations, organizations and individuals. Children that attend Victory
Junction would not otherwise be able to attend a camp because of their medical needs.

Victory Junction is a year-round camp that serves children, ages 7 to 15,
with a variety of health issues. During the summer we offer week long
disease specific sessions with up to 125 kids per session. During the Fall,
Winter and Spring we offer family weekends with up to 32 families per weekend.

The children we serve may have any of the following health issues:
arthritis, asthma, cancer, epilepsy, hemophilia, immunology
deficiencies/HIV, sickle cell disease, spina bifida, gastrointestinal
disease, heart disease, kidney disea se, li ver disease,
neurological disease, skin disease, burn survivors, cystic fibrosis,
diabetes, autism, craniofacial anomalies, physical disabilities, kids on
vents, transverse myelitis

Victory Junction now serves North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia,
with approximately 15% of campers coming from other parts of the country.
