Bosch makes donation to mark race victory

BROADVIEW, Ill. (March 10, 2015) — Bosch Aftermarket N.A. is donating $1,000 to the Hendrick Marrow Program to mark race driver Jimmie Johnson's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 victory in Atlanta, March 1.

The Hendrick program works to raise money to help cover uninsured costs of transplants through the Hendrick Family Fund for patient assistance.

Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports, established the Hendrick Marrow Program of Be The Match Foundation, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program, after being diagnosed with leukemia in 1997.

“Hendrick Motorsports is one of the finest racing organizations in the sport today, and Bosch is proud to support them not only on the racetrack but also in their work to help those in need of lifesaving bone marrow transplants that fight blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma,” said Tony Pauly, director of advertising and brand management for Bosch Automotive Aftermarket North America.

Bosch Aftermarket said it has a long-standing partnership with Hendrick Motorsports, including drivers Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne. Bosch has been providing parts — such as oxygen sensors, spark plugs, injectors, alternators, coils, filters, fuel pumps, starters and pressure regulators — to the Hendrick Motorsports teams for more than a decade.
