An IRL Helmet signed by Paul Newman and Graham Rahal,
who wore it while he drove the Hole in the Wall Camps car at
Mid-Ohio on July 20, 2008 was auctioned off in the fall of 2008. The helmet raised $40,900 for the camp!
The helmet is a tribute to Paul Newmans life, with images of his movie
posters. Paul founded the Hole in the Wall Camp, now known as the
Association of Hole in the Wall Camps, the worlds largest family
of camps for children with serious illnesses. The proceeds from the
auction of the helmet specifcally benefited Flying Horse Farms
(www.flyinghorsefarms.org), a provisional member of the Hole in
the Wall camps, being built in Mt. Gilead, Ohio,
just 15 miles from Mid-Ohio and 45 minutes from
Rahals hometown of New Albany. It is scheduled to
open in 2010.
