San Bernardino , CA - Glen Helen Raceway raised over $55,000, with the help of the motocross industry, during its annual Golf Benefit held on September 10, 2004. One-hundred percent of the funds are donated to Loma Linda University Medical Center 's Emergency Trauma Center and are used to purchase equipment and conduct research to help make motocross racing a safer sport. Since the first golf benefit five years ago Glen Helen has raised over $145,000.

“We are very proud to participate in such a worthwhile endeavor, providing new technology and emergency care facilities to motocross riders,” said Bud Feldkamp, Chief of Glen Helen Raceway.
