On April 18, a very diverse group of celebrities is going to race in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in Long Beach California.  This is a 10-lap car race through downtown Long Beach, and Toyota donates $5000 for each celebrity who races to a charity called “Racing for Kids,” plus will also donate another $5000 to the charity of the winner’s choice. 

This seems like a really fun and giving thing to do.  The celebrities involved range from Oscar winners to washed up game-show hosts, but they do have in common a willingness to give their time and driving skills to raise money for kids.  It should be fun.  Don’t forget to cheer them on if you’re in the Long Beach area. 

Celebs participating this year are Adrien Brody, Keanu Reeves, Luke Wilson, Raven Symone, Jon Hamm, Tim Daly, Tyson Beckford, Alex Trebeck, Eric Close, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Carlos Mencia, Danny Way, and Ken Baker.
