Racing family makes annual donation to charity

The Freiburger family and their racing team have a tradition of donating their winnings to the Easter Seals.

This year they donated $5,540.

"Since we started racing 13 years ago, we have given away a grand total of $98,582.83," Angela Freiburger said.

"We have also helped many individuals who have serious illnesses with such things as parking fees, fuel to be able to go to appointments in the city as well as meals and other needs," she added.

"Everyone who has benefited from our donations has been sincerely thankful ," Freiburger said, as she thanked the racing crew and sponsors for allowing them to donate the winnings.

When they're not busy racing, the family also owns and operates a truck and trailer repair shop in Walkerton.
