Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation’s Legendary Driver Award Goes to Four Time Indy 500 Winner Al Unser



Al Speyer of Bridgestone/Firestone received the “Partner for a Cure” award for his generosity and support towards the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation. The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation’s Legendary Driver Award was given to four-time Indianapolis 500 champion Al Unser.

Other Indianapolis 500 personalities attending the event included: Al Unser Jr., Danica Patrick, Buddy Lazier, Jaques Lazier, Jimmy Kite, Kim Green, the Hulman-George family, Roger Bailey, Brian Barnhart, Logan Gomez, Alex Lloyd, Jonathan Klein, Chris Festa, Arie Luyendyk Jr., Jon Herb, Robbie Buhl and Marty Roth.

IDA CAHILL (President, Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation): “This event would not have been possible without the many volunteers that helped us out. I know it was a long night, and by the end, a lot of people had sore feet from running around. Still, each year this seems to be the premier social event in May surrounding the race. I think the amount of people that showed up is such a tribute to Sam and the support they show him and the foundation. ”
