Sadler Donates Autism Awareness Helmet for Online Auction

EMPORIA, Va. -- For the month of April, Elliott Sadler is wearing a specially-designed Autism Awareness helmet in every race. In May, that very same helmet will belong to whoever wants it most.

To raise funds and awareness, Sadler had the helmet designed with the colorful, jigsaw Autism puzzle pieces. During the Texas, Phoenix and Talladega races in April, the driver of the No. 19 Dodge will be wearing the colorful concoction in competition.

Donated by Impact Racing and designed by Ryan Young of Indocil Art, the helmet will then be up for auction via the Hermie and Elliott Sadler Charitable Foundation website. Starting May 1st, bids will be accepted via www.sadlerfoundation.org/auction_page.asp until it closes on May 19th.

The awareness and auction are more than just the NASCAR driver being charitable – it’s personal.

“Helping to create awareness for autism is an extremely important cause for me,” Elliott Sadler said. “It hits really close to home because my niece, Halie, is autistic. The great Autism related charities we’ve worked with over the years offer many different programs and opportunities to help not only those suffering from this developmental disability, but also their families.

“It is a cause that I’ll do all I can to help raise money and awareness.

“We’re not just trying to raise money for the Hermie and Elliott Sadler Charitable Foundation, we’re looking to educate people and raise more awareness about Autism.”

Once the auction concludes on May 19th, the winner bidder will receive the autographed helmet and a Certificate of Authenticity from Elliott Sadler on Elliott Sadler Enterprises letterhead.

Bid now, bid big - and help Autism.
