Viso, Mike Conway, JR Hildebrand, James Hinchcliffe, Vitor Meira, James Jakes, Sebastian Saavedra, Raphael Matos & Ho-Pin Tung.

The program’s effort to launch this online auction began at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in March as Takuma Sato, a Japanese IndyCar Driver and Founder of “With you Japan” program, asked IndyCar drivers to show their support by donating their autographed race gloves to auction off to worldwide race fans through Charitybuzz.com. Gloves were chosen to symbolize the hands of friendship between the USA and Japan.

This international fund-raising program’s mission is to bring attention to the devastating real-life issues thousands of children are experiencing and raising proceeds to empower local childcare professionals provide longer-term emotional, mental and physical care.

“With you Japan” invites racing fans and motorsport enthusiasts to take part in its online charity auction at http://www.charitybuzz.com/withyoujapan.
