The management, employees and customers of VIP Parts, Tires and Service have raised $67,984 for Ricky Craven’s Charity, a fundraising source for The Marrow Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Travis Roy Foundation and Give Kids the World.

A check will be presented to Craven at the VIP store on the Odlin Road in Bangor Friday, Jan. 30 at 10 a.m. It caps a fundraising effort involving VIP’s 51 stores in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts which solicited $1 donations. The effort greatly surpassed last year’s donation of $27,475. The presentation will also mark the launch of the annual Craven Snowmobile Ride for Charity, which takes place Saturday, Jan. 31 in Greenville.
