PLANO, Texas (March 1, 2013) -
AdvoCare International, LP
(AdvoCare), a leading health and wellness company, today announced
it will donate to the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma
based on the performance of Richard Childress Racing NASCAR

education and awareness to improve the treatment for critically
injured children in the U.S.

"Nearly 10,000 kids die every year
from life-threatening injuries - more than all other causes
combined," said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard
Childress Racing and co-founder of the Childress Institute for
Pediatric Trauma. "It's the number one killer of children in
America, and it can happen anywhere, at any time, to any child. We
are grateful for the powerful teaming of Austin and AdvoCare to
help raise money and awareness for this national problem."

progress and AdvoCare's commitment throughout the year by visiting

awareness the Institute facilitates, and hope our contribution can
help their mission continue in the future."
