Trace Adkins and Richard Petty Call a Truce for Charity

Country Girl — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:15:24 +0000

At the recent Goody’s Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia on Sunday, April 1, the friendly rivalry between racing legend and Goody’s® Headache Powder spokesman Richard Petty and country music superstar and BC® Powder spokesman Trace Adkins, ended in a truce that resulted in a total donation of $100,000 to help two charitable causes.

Victory Junction, chosen by Petty, and Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP), Adkins’ chosen charity, each received a donation of $50,000 from the powder brand they represent. The donations were a part of the continued Goody’s and BC Pick A Powder Campaign (www.pickapowder.com) that began in 2010 to see which powder is the fastest at getting rid of pain.

This year, the donation was the culmination of the “Like, Share, Change the World” Facebook program which gave fans a chance to raise funds and awareness for the two charities. Fans could go to the BC and Goody’s Facebook pages and for every BC or Goody’s page “liked”, a $1.00 donation was made (up to $50,000) to Victory Junction from Goody’s and to Wounded Warrior Project from BC. After fans “liked” the page(s), they could share a suggestion for how to make the world a less painful place.

Goody’s was so moved by the kind of heartfelt messages left by fans all over the country that the company decided to take the program to the community to try to provide some fast relief and “change the world” in a small way for a deserving family. Goody’s learned about a young man named Westley McCormick and his family through the relationship with Victory Junction. Westley is cancer survivor and a Victory Junction camper who lives in Lexington, NC with his parents and three brothers. At a special check presentation held late last month, Goody’s surprised the McCormick Family with a donation of $2,000 to purchase a computer and home schooling supplies. The McCormick’s also attended the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 and Westley got the chance to be on stage during pre-race to help receive the $50,000 check presented to Victory Junction.

Wondering How You Can Get Your Hands On Trace Adkins’ Sausage??

TawnyTucker — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 13:30:28 +0000

Have you been wondering how you can get your hands on Trace Adkins’ sausage? I know I have. Well, wonder no more.

Louisiana based, family-run business, Hightower Enterprises LLC, has partnered with Country Star Trace Adkins to bring Trace Adkins Hightower’s Country Smoked Sausage exclusively to Brookshire Grocery Company.

The new partnership is one that truly started at home. For the past forty years, Marvin Hightower has produced Hightower’s Country Smoked Sausage as a family-owned company in northwest Louisiana – not far from Adkins’ own hometown. The Country star grew up on Hightower’s, which has made and distributed the highest quality pork sausage since 1972.

“When you think about home cooking, you think about family and tradition. The Hightower’s family business was a part of my family’s meals growing up. I’m happy to join them as they expand beyond Louisiana to all the families served by Brookshire Grocery Company stores.”

Hightower’s outstanding taste comes from their long-term commitment to a secret, traditional recipe that calls for no added water, a great balance of spices and the true flavor of high quality USA meat.

BGC is the product launch exclusive retailer for Trace Adkins Hightower’s Country Smoked Sausage.

Since 1928 BGC has operated on the principle of putting people first. Known for friendly service, clean stores and strong community support, BGC operates 152 stores in three states (Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas) under two brands, Brookshire’s and Super 1 Foods. BGC operates with a mission of providing a great food and shopping experience to everyone who walks through the doors.

“Being the exclusive retailer of the high quality, Trace Adkins Hightower’s Country Smoked Sausage is a great way to reinforce our mission,” said Rick Rayford, BGC president and CEO.
